Nerdfighter what morals are you talking about? Enlighten all of us while we waste our time reading of your confusion. Don't be part of the problem, be part of the solution!

These things happen, they get it from real life. Teens wont learn unless we inform them. if we make it sound like a bad thing, they will just want to do it because its 'forbbiden'

Please watch 'Skins' UK (broadcast on E4) before judging the show. It is not for minors. It is not high art. It is a scripted drama about fictional characters. Many commentators have not seen past the first episode. Advertisers are on the controversy band wagon being pulled by lobbyists and misinformed commentators.

The producers and marketers behind "Skins" are brilliantly exploiting the lesson that the morality police -- the Parents Television Council, Donald Wildmon's Family Research Council, Focus on the Family, Pat Robertson and all the rest -- never, ever learn. I've watched "Skins." It's not that good, the plots are predictable and the acting is embarrassingly bad. If the morality police had just ignored "Skins," it would have died in obscurity. But no! Just as happened 20 years ago with Martin Scorsese's dirge of a movie "The Last Temptation of Christ," the self-appointed guardians of taste have created a goldmine of free publicity for "Skins." What the pom-pious proselytizers have never understood is that this is America, the land of the free -- and Americans will rally to the side of anything that someone wants to keep away from them, no matter how substandard it is. The best sales slogen there is is "This is what 'THEY' don't want you to see" -- or, in the old days, "Banned in Boston." It's for sure that, no matter how cheesy and low-brow it is, "Skins" will now gain two advertisers for every one it loses, and what would have been a ratings disaster for MTV will end up being a rousing success. As any advertising salesman knows, the allure of "forbidden fruit" trumps quality -- or lack of it -- every time.

I am very happy that several sponsers have removed themselves from supporting MTV with it's show skins!! I can't stand most americans with their open minded thinking even if what thoughts they have in their tiny minds look like child pornography. MTV should stick to showing video's; oh wait they no longer show video's just crappy shows for rotten, spoiled, and dirty american kids that have no idea what is moral, or considered clean entertainment. They should bring back corporal punishment for adults, and children in the US!!

More political correctness at work. Maybe if modern parents would spend more time at home and less time at the country club, they would know what their children were doing and be aware that if a kid has reached the age of ten, he/she has already been steeped in sexualization, violence, deceit and a plethora of other wrongs that continue to endure in this country. Do they so quickly forget what they acted like as teens? Is there any teen boy whose first priority is not to get laid? Get a reality check going, people, before "they" begin passing laws telling us how to move, what to eat, etc. --- oops, they already do. Get a grip and stop worrying about this program. Maybe you should watch so you can speak to your child from a position of intelligence, rather than naivete on what they are doing in their lives.

this show does not bother me as much as the message that "Teen Mom" is sending to teenagers. Obviously, an opportunity to be heard about a show on the same network. "Focusing" on the entire picture.

Another reason I'm opposed to taking this show off the air is that there are so many shows for pre-schoolers, so many shows for pre-teens, so many shows aimed for adults, yet you want to take away one show that's aimed toward teens just because you disagree with some of the morals?

Ok here it is. I have a teenager. We have communication which in todays society is lacking in alot of homes. We talk about whats on tv and the reality of it. We talk about whether or not its right to do those things that is on there and what she should do or shouldnt do. I have raised her with the right values, morals, and am watching who she is friends with, talks on her phone with and where she goes. I check up on her when not in the house. Sure she could lie to me on where she is or what she is doing but I believe that if you raise your child right, be active in there life, talk to them on their level and help them to understand it will go alot further than not. We as parents cant be everywhere and watch every little thing our children do and say but we can raise them right and hope that when faced with that issue they will choose correctly. If they fall, pick them up discuss why its wrong what happened if you can and go on. I was brought up that way and have not been arrested ever, dont do drugs, or alcohol, and can count on one hand the number of tickets ive ever gotten. Now, some of you will tear apart what ive said but its working well so far so I dont believe im that far off the mark. Oh and Im a single mother raising my child on my own with very little help. It can be done, if you believe and remember how to reach your kids,

Censorship is never the answer; education is. The PTC needs to worry about their own kids rather than waste their time trying to tell others how they should live.
