The Parents Television Council gets cable

The music television programs have gotten awfully racy as of late. For instance, there’s that one music video they play… Er, I’ve seen it, but I can’t recall the song. Or the artist. You know the one. It’s got a really cloying chorus, and it’s very earnest and tuneful. Or was it f’real as fuck?

Either way, the PTC has apparently seen it, too, now, and they didn’t like it either. They’ve got it out for the gangsters, pimps, thugs and players on MTV and BET — stereotypes they claim portray blacks and Latinos in a much cooler light than your average white person (see VH1).

But racial justice is only one shade of the PTC hissyfit. Before all else, we must think of the children!

The MTVs and BETs are pratically heaving porn at your kids. I for one refuse to watch MTV until Damien Fahey stops wearing such lowcut shirts.

“A Shot of Love with Tila Tequila” is precisely the kind of show you don’t want your kids watching. And how are you supposed to tell me that the MTV execs aren’t trying to push that on the kids? She is a famous celebrity that I hadn’t heard of until there was a show about her, and kids love famous celebrities that no one else gives a fuck about. In no time, your kids will be asking you for thongs and watermelon-flavored vodka instead of asking to go to church and the dentist like they do now.

Show me a pre-teen who doesn’t love the 10 second Bad Brains clips between The Real World and The Real World/Road Rules Challenge, and I’ll show you a pre-teen who cannot love.

I’d go more in depth, but — god, I don’t know how to say this — Um, I don’t watch much BET.
