Skins

Did anyone catch this show on MTV? My wife, for some reason, was anxious to see the damn thing. I sit there and watch it with her and the whole time I am thinking, "WTF, how can this be on regular tv for kids to see."

If you don't know, it is a show about teens doing drugs and having sex, getting high, drunk, etc. I don't necessarily see the problem with that, just that it is there for kids to see. It is rated tv-ma...on MTV.

Apparently MTV is getting alot of backlash internally and from watchdog groups.

The actors are actually teens in real life. So it makes you wonder how legal it really is.

I think the only show on Mtv that I can stand are re-runs of shows that didn't start on Mtv. The show has pretty bad reviews, and I'd be lying if I said that I was planning on checking it out. Did see a small news segment this morning about the child porn law implications.

I stopped watching MTV when they decided that showing stupid shit was more important than actually playing music videos. SO, I guess that was 1992 I guess?

apparently the original series is popular over seas so naturally they had to bring it over.
