MTV's New Show Is Showing Too Much "Skin"

MTV aired their new show "Skins" Monday January 17th. This show is an adaptation of England's version. The show is a fictional representation of the very "real" lives of teenagers. Everything from sex to drugs to eating disorders is represented in the show. "In addition to the sexual content on the show involving cast members as young as 15, PTC counted 42 depictions and references to drugs and alcohol in the premiere episode,"-Parents Television Council (MSNBC).

"Taco Bell has pulled its ads off "Skins" after the Parents Television Council urged a boycott."-MSNBC

"Word of a 17-year-old actor alternating between being naked and appearing aroused for a length of time in the Jan. 31 episode has prompted outrage from the Parents Television Council -- resulting in a sponsor (Taco Bell) abandoning the series and concerns that "Skins" might be in danger of violating federal child pornography statutes." -Fox News

I believe this show is a disgrace. Many argue it is just an accurate depiction of what "normal" teenagers doing what "normal" teenagers do. I believe I was a "normal" teenager, but I was never involved in the activities presented in this show. MTV has once again crosses the line. This show is right there with 16 and Pregnant and Jersey Shore. It presents to teenagers a false reality, making it seem as if it is alright to participate in sex, drugs, and drinking. They make it seem as if there are no repercussions from their actions. MTV's upcoming episode on January 30th with alleged child pornography is repulsive! Not only is it absolutely revolting, but also illegal! I do not know how MTV can get around the law; the only answer is to cancel the episode. This show is an absolute disgrace. I applaud Taco Bell for removing their advertisements during this program.

Media Oversight

Facebook has been an outlet for Sarah Palin haters to express violence towards the former Governor of Alaska. These images would be attacked by the Left if they had been towards any Left-Winged official and has been attacked in the past. How are these images any different than the images used on the Right? The groups name of the image on the left is "I hate it when I wake up and Sarah Palin is still alive" the image on the right is part of "If Sarah Palin becomes President in 2012, then I hope the world ends." Why doesn't the Left denounce these images like they have in the past for images from the Right?

Left-wing has continually attacked Sarah Palin this past week for her use the cross hair imagery. It is convenient that the Left has left out the constant violent attacks against Right Wing officials. The image below is a perfect example. In 2004 the Democratic Leadership Council released this image along with a strategy to gain states from Republicans. This looks awfully similar to the imagery used by Sarah Palin. On the bottom of the image the DLC refers to Republican held states as "enemy lines." Click here to see the full article!

Left-wing media has attacked Conservative leadership and media violently on multiple occasions, however for the majority, the mass media has neglected to report it.

MONTEL WILLIAMS (1:30:32): September 2nd 2009: Michelle [Bachmann], slit your wrist. Go ahead... or, do us all a better thing. Move that knife up about two feet. Start right at the collarbone.

MIKE MALLOY: “Some horrifyingly intense America-hater like Rush Limbaugh, who appears to be morphing into, seriously, he is morphing into Jabba the Hutt. Um, I’ve seen some recent video, this guy is enormous. He just keeps bloating up. It’s, it’s just, I hope he keeps going because that means he will soon croak. Like I said, eventually, he will choke to death on his own throat fat.”

ED SHULTZ: “You’re damn right, Dick Cheney's heart's a political football,” Schultz said in remarks recorded by the media blog Radio Equalizer. “We ought to rip it out and kick it around and stuff it back in him."

Where was the media when Ed Shutlz said to rip out Dick Cheney's heart? The mass media is so one sided they have become blind reality.

Please Take a Moment of Silence

I'm sure everyone has heard about the tragic events in Tucson, Arizona Saturday morning. Lives were lost and lives were shattered in only a few brief moments. Six lives were unjustly taken. John Roll, a federal judge; Gabriel Zimmerman, who worked as a staffer for Giffords; Christina Greene, 9 born on 9/11/01; Phyllis Scheck, 79; Dorothy Morris, 76; and Dorwin Stoddard, 76. Please pray for these families who lost their son, their daughter, their grandmother, their brother, their sister, their wife, their husband, and their friend. Please pray for the 14 victims wounded and please pray for their families as well. Please pray for Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords, for her speedy and full recovery, and pray for her family as well.

I will touch briefly on the ridiculous political warfare circulating in the mass media. I feel that neither side should give this outrageous notion the time of day. Yes, it was started by the left wing media, however it should not have been carried on by either side. This is a matter of personal responsibility, not political influence. This man acted on his own will, not for the supposed right wing cause.

Please take the time to think of the victims of this horrible event, rather than pointing fingers.

"We must reject the idea that every time a law's broken, society is guilty rather than the lawbreaker. It is time to restore the American precept that each individuals is accountable for his actions."
