The market place prevails -- no need for gob'mint censorship.....

When MTV decided to take the low route and broadcast a borderline child porn series from Britain called aptly enough, 'Skins'..... folks raised hell. MTV pressed on... not to be shut down by the unwashed public. If kids wanna see kids banging kids, why not give it to 'em?

Wiser heads are prevailing in the market place however, and sponsors are dropping faster than the fly zippers in the series. H&R Block is the latest to say no thanks..... they join Taco Bell, Wrigley and General Motors in tearing up their checks.

It'll be interesting to see if the bean counters at MTV want to present the series as a 'public service' instead of a profit center..... I ain't no prude, but I say more power to these upstanding corporations for drawing the line at how their advertising dollars will be spent.... Hear Hear!!
