Looks like porn to me

In the book, it is argued that the things that tend to sell the most (in terms of programs as well as ads) are sex and violence.

A new show to air on MTV is being rejected by some as "porn." Based on the commercials I've seen for it, I'm not so sure, although this image from the show looks like there will be some serious sex going on!

Not mentioned in the article is the crime and violence to be featured in the new show. Each commercial for the show I've seen so far features assaults, fights, stolen cars, crashed cars, and more.

  1. This is a program that originally aired in England and was successful for five seasons. The point that it is pretty risqué is true but there is no nudity in the show so how can it be considered pornography? Also the viewer is clearly warned before the show starts that it is rated MA along with the reasons why. Is it really that big of a deal that it's attracting all this negativity? If you don't like what the show is about, don't watch it.

  2. Yeah I am more interested in the crime side of the show. Not receiving much commentary.
