Post a CommentOut of those raising objections, I wonder how many adults have actually seen this show. According to the MTV schedule, only one episode has aired, and it was far less racy that the recent bedroom farce episode of "The Big Bang Theory."

I share the concern of the question you raise but take it further because it is the perception of some adults especially in the market place that kids are available for this exploitation for profit and the people making money form it like their families seem to available. I cannot share what I really think here.
