outrageous!!-- Will Skins break child pornography laws??,
Wether you hate it or love it , Skins is still making the media here in the usa, i personally like the series and can't wait for more but not everyone feels that way , now sources is calling skins out for "CHild Porn" Really?
(Article from www.huffingtonpost.com)
"MTV's new show 'Skins' is an instant hit -- but is it also breaking laws?
A remake of the British show of the same name, 'Skins' takes youth sexuality to a level never before seen on television, with sex, drugs, drinking and masturbation galore. And though it's tamer than the British original, the NY Times reports that MTV executives are scared it could be deemed child pornography.
The show is littered with sexually suggestive poses and half-exposed breasts, though how exposed they have to be to constitute illegality is up in the air.
Predictably, conservative organizations such as The Parents' Television Council have thrown a fit about the show, calling it "dangerous" and making ominous predictions. MTV has worked to placate and reassure them.
"'Skins' is a show that addresses real-world issues confronting teens in a frank way," MTV said in a statement. "We review all of our shows and work with all of our producers on an ongoing basis to ensure our shows comply with laws and community standards. We are confident that the episodes of 'Skins' will not only comply with all applicable legal requirements, but also with our responsibilities to our viewers."
That said, while some say it isn't as good as the British original (Videogum says that it is neither child pornography nor is it good), the show has drawn record ratings (3.3 million for its premiere) and is getting rave reviews from many, including HuffPost blogger Tina Wells. She reports that there are rumors that they even have teens on the writing staff, to make sure its truthful to its subject matter.
As for the cast themselves, they defend the show -- because it's about the story.
"Things like this certainly happen [in real life]," James Newman, who plays Tony on the show, told MTV.com. "I don't think they necessarily happen with the frequency that it happens on 'Skins,' but it's TV and we want it to be entertaining and it helps from a standpoint on sex and drugs. It doesn't happen as much, but I think as far as relationships the friends have with each other and the emotions, that stuff is dead-on, spot for spot what we went through in high school. ... Anytime you see sex and drugs on 'Skins,' it's about the story. It's never that for the sake of that."
Whether those teens' opinions match up with the FCC and federal prosecutors, however, remains to be seen."
**********************
Why is Everyone so against Skins , Give it a rest and enjoy the damn show!, it amazes me , how we as a nation can be ahead in so many things but other Countries are so advance in showing things on television. it sucks sex, drugs ,sexuality makes people uncomfortable here in the us , but i think it's very hypocritical ,(Random)- it's not so bad if a girl and a guy kiss and roll around in bed , but let two guys do it, grab your pitch folks , oh please..I am glad a series like Skins is here in the U.S i hope they push the envelope with every aspect they can because America isn't all Kittens and butterflies and for anyone who thinks that really need a reality check

"MTV's new show 'Skins' is an instant hit -- but is it also breaking laws?
A remake of the British show of the same name, 'Skins' takes youth sexuality to a level never before seen on television, with sex, drugs, drinking and masturbation galore. And though it's tamer than the British original, the NY Times reports that MTV executives are scared it could be deemed child pornography.
The executives ordered the producers to make changes to tone down some of the most explicit content. They are particularly concerned about the third episode of the series, which is to be broadcast Jan. 31. In an early version, a naked 17-year-old actor is shown from behind as he runs down a street. The actor, Jesse Carere, plays Chris, a high school student whose erection -- assisted by erectile dysfunction pills -- is a punch line throughout the episode.Child pornography, which the Times reports is defined as "any visual depiction of a minor engaged in sexually explicit conduct" or "a picture of a naked child may constitute illegal child pornography if it is sufficiently sexually suggestive," is a danger for the show, given that some of its cast is as young as fifteen.
