I was just flipping channels a while ago and wondered how in the heck they got away with some of the nasty shit they show on MTV these days.

    Another stupid show falsely labeling us youngins in America. The shows they have are so far and beyond fiction.

    I am all for artistic expression, and if the movie kids did not result in charges than I doubt this will, but if it can help take this god awful station off the air than I am all for it. MTV is a truly unique television station...I am not a believeer that violent movies make people violent and all that, but I do believe that when you blur the lines of reality and fiction danger can only follow.

    good. I hope the channel gets its licence revoked. nothing but unreality BS.

    Bring back Beavis and Butthead.

    how stupid are the executives at this channel that thought this would be ok? they need to be fired IMMEDIATELY.

    no way!

    i saw a commercial for this the other day so i texted my buddy to watch it so we could share in the horror. god what an awful show. my bud and i both agreed there would be an uproar..and here it is.

    it wasn't really the sex and drugs that offended me. that happens in highschool. it was the over the top dialouge that made juno seem possible. no one talks like this at such an age, and people that do need to be punched.
    getting angry
    oh and i think the school cafeteria was named bushcock or something.. really?

    MTV should be a little more responsible. They have now made getting knocked up in high school cool and fashionable. Music and TV doesn't influence people?......Bullshit.

    and this is why MTV and any program(knocked up etc.) like it should be stopped and as another poster said the people responsible for this kind of trash fired.

    I am thrilled to see sponsor after sponsor pull the plug on "Skins." Viacom should be investigated and charges brought against them.

    I was talking to my kid last night, he told me all of his friends can't believe this stuff was on t.v
    and that they really can't stand to watch it.

    going down the drain.

    The Dead Kennedy's - M.T.V.-Get Off The Air

    Fun Fun Fun in the fluffy chair
    Flame up the herb
    Woof down the beer
    [click!]
    Hi
    I'm your video DJ
    I always talk like I'm wigged out on quaaludes
    I wear a satin baseball jacket everywhere I go

    My job is to help destroy
    What's left of your imagination
    By feeding you endless doses
    Of sugar-coated mindless garbage

    So don't create
    Be sedate
    Be a vegetable at home
    And thwack on that dial
    If we have our way even you will believe
    This is the future of rock and roll

    How far will you go
    How low will you stoop
    To tranquilize our minds with your sugar-coated swill

    You've turned rock and roll rebellion
    Into Pat Boone sedation
    Making sure nothing's left to the imagination

    M.T.V. Get off the
    M.T.V. Get off the
    M.T.V. Get off the air
    Get off the air

    See the latest rejects from the muppet show
    Wag their tits and their dicks
    As they lip-synch on screen
    [ From: http://www.elyrics.net/read/d/dead-kenn ... yrics.html ]
    There's something I don't like
    About a band who always smiles
    Another tax write-off
    For some schmuck who doesn't care

    M.T.V. Get off the air
    And so it was
    Our beloved corporate gods
    Claimed they created rock video
    Allowing it to sink as low in one year
    As commercial TV has in 25
    "It's the new frontier," they say
    It's wide open, anything can happen
    But you've got a lot of nerve
    To call yourself a pioneer
    When you're too god-damn conservative
    To take real chances.

    Tin-eared
    Graph-paper brained accountants
    Instead of music fans
    Call all the shots at giant record companies now

    The lowest common denominator rules
    Forget honesty
    Forget creativity
    The dumbest buy the mostest
    That's the name of the game

    But sales are slumping
    And no one will say why
    Could it be they put out one too many lousy records?!?

    M.T.V.-Get off the air!
    NOW

    If you got kids, tell them not to watch - job done, if progam isn't being watched it is dumped.

    On another note - I find it incredibly ironic that the same people going on about tighter restrictions on what their kids can watch are generally the same ones who see nothing wrong with the current gun laws, and who can have access to them :lol: , the worms are out of the can
