Like it? That's fine. You're an adult. But do you like it enough to watch it with a 12 year-old? MTV thinks you should.
I Just Want My Pants Back is the latest attempt by MTV to parlay a lifestyle of drunken hook-ups into the living room of minors. But in all
fairness (I am no prude), if adults want to complain about finding lost
clothing because of a poorly-planned indiscretion, have at it. They are adults.
They can do whatever (and, er, whomever) they want to.
But here’s where Watchdog Mom gets irritated: MTV is advertising this show to 12 year
olds. Don’t believe me? MTV’s head-honcho
himself, the head of programming, David Janollari, is on the record saying the network is targeting
kids as young as 12 with the content:
“The idea is to reach out to the
12-34-year-old demo at a level that relates to them.”
Janollari and the rest at MTV want to intentionally target pre-teens and teens with a TV-14 rating. The episodes introduce a foursome, and a woman asking a man to
insert his finger into her rectum during intercourse.
If you agree this content is
inappropriate for children of any age, please take action
now by contacting the
sponsors, Dr. Pepper, T-Mobile, and Toyota. Ask them if alcohol-fueled sexual foursomes and a woman who wants finger
up her a**’ are an accurate reflection of their mission statement.

I love this post. I totally agree. There is a big difference between 12 and 34! And this is definitely not something I want my 12-year-old watching.
I only have caught glimpses of this show and glimpses are enough. I know it does come on after the Jersey Shore on Thursday nights and that's 11 o'clock. Whenever the show starts I think please, give this kid his pants back so he can leave and the show will be over. Then I change the channel.
It has no real value, I'll give it that. Am I calling abunch of advertisers because of it? No. It'll be over due to lack over viewers before the calls can even be dealt with.
