Outrage

So I hear, through the grapevine, that despite the editing out of some of the stronger language, sex AND violence, the Skins US adaptation is still too much for advertisers.


Wrigley and Taco Bell, amongst others have pulled sponsorship from the show. Apparently the show is not for them. <ponders> Hmmmm, if only there was a way for them to have known what on earth the show might be like before they put their money where their mouths are. How on earth was the show described? Is there any way that Skins could ever have been suitable for them? I mean, this image was the E4 promo print for series two. 


4.6 seconds of Googling could have saved them all this trouble. Of course, I don't imagine that MTV is complaining at all about all the controversy. Nothing garners an audience like talk of obscenity.
