MTV’s ‘Skins’: Kiddie Porn or Real Life for Teens?
|
MTV’s new hit show “Skins” is meant to push boundaries. But the Parents Television Council is saying the show may be child pornography and they are asking Congress to investigate. The scripted show features real teenagers - ages 15 to 19 - drinking, taking drugs, and having sex. Executives at MTV are apparently worried enough that they asked the show producers to tone down some explicit content, especially in episode #3, which is set to air on January 31, according to the New York Times. "The Today Show" takes a look at the developing controversy. Visit msnbc.com for breaking news, world news, and news about the economy
