MTV Has Too Much Skins in the Game

Earlier this month, the Parents Television Council asked the U.S. Justice Department to investigate whether Skins, an MTV remake of an award-winning British drama about high school kids, constitutes child pornography for its use of underage actors in highly sexualized scenarios.

I’m no fan of censorship, and the PTC historically has veered into histrionic territory with its protestations of shows such as That 70′s Show, Will and Grace and Dawson’s Creek.

Yet when it comes to MTV’s Skins, I reluctantly concur.
