HAS ANYONE SEEN THIS TV SHOW SKINS ON MTV

Skins," MTV's controversial new show about a group of very misbehaved teenagers has aired just one episode, and already it is facing severe criticism, advertising snafus and even possible legal action.

After a damning story about the show ran on the front page of Thursday's New York Times, Taco Bell announced that it would be pulling all of its ads from future airings of "Skins." A spokesperson told The Hollywood Reporter the show is "not a fit for our brand," and that they would be moving their ads elsewhere on MTV.
"Skins" (based on the racy BBC series of the same name) is raising red flags within the company due to its potentially objectionable content. According to a story on the front page of today's New York Times, executives at the network have expressed concerns that content in forthcoming episodes could expose the company to charges of child pornography.
Brian Stelter reports that, according to an unnamed source at MTV, executives have ordered cuts to the episode slated to air January 31, which apparently revolves around teenaged Chris gravely (and comedically) inconvenienced by the effects of an erectile-dysfunction drug; the actor playing Chris, Jesse Carere, is 17.
Yet another MTV show I will not watch.

Addictions and Skins

First I want to send out a Happy Birthday to my good friend Linda Medrano!! Hope  it's a great one babe.

Well I fell off the wagon.  As usual it happened over the holidays.  The holidays are so hard on people with addictions and I’m no exception.  Yes, I admit it.  I’m drinking Pepsi again. 

Hell, I’m Jayman and I’m a Pesiholic.

“Hi Jayyyyyyyyyyyy

I’ve given up Pepsi several times and each time I’ve eventually fallen back into the habit.  It’s just so good and comforting.  It makes me feel better both physically and emotionally.   When I’m not drinking Pepsi, I feel like I’m punishing myself and I sit around thinking things like “Well, I would love a Pepsi, but I can’t.” And then I start feeling sorry for myself.

So, here I am, drinking a Pepsi while typing this post up.  Maybe I’ll quit again.  I should quit again soon.  But, not until after the Super Bowl cause there’s not freaking way I’m doing the Super Bowl without drinking a Pepsi with my chips and dip and pizza rolls and whatever else.

Anyway, I’m sorry if I’ve let any of you down, by backsliding into the my Pepsi drinking ways.   I’ll try harder in the future.

Anyone watching “Skins” on MTV?  Nope?  Well, somebody is!  But, I’m not.  And after reading an article about how some execs at MTV believe that “Skins” might be violating some child pornography laws, I think I made the right choice.

See, I feel comfortable that it was fine for me to watch “Party of Five” and enjoy watching Jennifer Love Hewitt grow up.  It was fine to watch “Gilmore Girls.”  And even “Laguna Beach” and “The Hills” were okay.  And, “Gossip Girl” was perfectly acceptable.  But, I think a 42 year old, DAMN NEAR 43 YEAR OLD, guy watching “Skins” might just be crossing the line a bit.   Especially given that the show is basically about teenagers drinking, doing drugs and having sex.

Now, I’m not criticizing the show for depicting those things.  I’m not one of those people who believes that we should pretend that teenagers aren’t drinking, doing drugs and having sex.  Because failure to acknowledge these things makes it much more difficult to deal with it. I just think that it would be a little weird for an old guy to be watching that. Plus the show looks like it really sucks.

In other news last night was another award-winning episode of “I'm With Stupid.” Matt-Man and I had a great time! We talked unemployment, provided a public service with some school closings, discussed the New Civility in Washington and I unveiled my vision of how to spice up the State of the Union by making the introductions a little more fun...

So, give us a listen if you have a few minutes or go to the show page and downloading the show and listening on your mp3 device.

Listen to internet radio with Im With Stupid on Blog Talk Radio

And, another happy birthday to Linda Medrano!
