Diaper commercials show baby butts all the time. I think that if it's going to be a big deal for "Skins" to show teen butt, then diaper companies should quit showing baby butt.

Its all about intent. A diaper commercial's intent is not to get someone all riled up...or help some sick guy get off. The intent is to sell diapers.


From what I read the intent of the episode of Skins in question is to be funny. It doesn't sound like it's aiming to get people off.

Have we, as a society, come so far as to be cavallier about actual teens behaving in such a way as to be *actually* destructive to their lives? And this is entertainment? Sure, they are acting...or are they just playing out for a camera what they do in their personal life?


Yes we have. Turn on an episode of Jersey Shore or The Real World. That's exactly what our society has come to. I personally hate it, but those shows aren't made for me.

Maybe I sound prudish...but I voicing my thoughts here. Not last week, if not a bit before that, there was a post about people here being ok with sex with dead bodies or incest . There was all sorts of "concent issues" or some such. People, lets be for real.... sex with a dead body . No one finds this disturbing and is willing to say so? And that anyone who wants to do this is maybe screwed up in the head?


I find it to be disturbing. I don't often go over to the community board so if it was there I likely missed it. I find it to be highly disgusting.

And here we have a TV show about teens not just behaving badly, but glorifying it....and then we're quibbling about age of concent and baby diaper commercials?


Again, look at reality shows in general just about every one of them that I've seen glorifies it.

I find the idea that a 17-yearold is covered by child porn laws strange Camilla - 20/01/2011 03:44:46 PM 470 Views
Age of consent varies state by state, but 18 is he cutoff for other things nationally beetnemesis - 20/01/2011 05:25:09 PM 428 Views
I think 18 is the cut-off for child porn in most places, regardless of the age of consent. *NM* Legolas - 20/01/2011 08:26:30 PM 190 Views

In fairness, there are other considerations than just what turns pedophiles on. Legolas - 20/01/2011 08:35:45 PM 450 Views
Yes, better safe than sorry, imo Darth_Katie - 20/01/2011 10:31:13 PM 440 Views

I don't think it's necessarily a scandal Brian - 21/01/2011 01:48:27 AM 493 Views
Why's that an issue? j-whitt987 - 20/01/2011 09:17:53 PM 456 Views
Also a fair point. *NM* Camilla - 20/01/2011 09:56:46 PM 175 Views

Ha, those points about reality tv are spot on. Darth_Katie - 20/01/2011 11:18:27 PM 488 Views
That's not fair. Chas - 21/01/2011 08:30:35 PM 477 Views
The British version aired on BBC America. It has the same scene. Nothing happened. *NM* Chas - 21/01/2011 01:30:10 AM 173 Views
Bah. Nevermind. The actors were all 18 or over. *NM* Chas - 21/01/2011 08:29:02 PM 172 Views
Who watches this stuff, anyway? *NM* Zalis - 24/01/2011 04:01:08 PM 166 Views
