MTV and porn

I was just watching MTV and they were showing a documentary called "hiphop and porn" or something like that.
Naturally I was very interested (not for the porn but for the hiphop of course;))
But the problem was that half the time (even more) they showed nothing but vague images where occasionally a head or a foot could be seen.

MTV wants to 'protect' it's viewers from porn. OK it's stupid, but okay, that's their choice. But why must they show a documentary that contains nudity then? How hypocritical is that?
They want to lure viewers by giving them the promise of nudity, but they're too scared to actually show it. Damn MTV

And you watched it, because of the promise of nudity. And they didn't have to pay hundreds of thousands of dollars in fines to show actual nudity. Sounds like their marketting department knows what they're doing.

Heartily seconded

But who will protect the viewers from MTV?

:p

I would guess becuase they want to do a show in 'primetime' to get the maximum audience but then not get in trouble. Also because kids go 'porn!!!' and turn it on because they'll want to see anything containing pornography.

Damn straight. I don’t turn on music television networks to watch fake reality shows about fake people. I don’t want my MTV anymore. They just started MTV Canada and I haven’t seen a single video yet! I stopped watching it and really by watching it I mean flipping by to see if they are actually going to play videos sometime soon. Ever since they started charging networks for showing videos of artists, the video channels have become complete crap. I want to see the latest videos of the rocks songs I’m listening to, to be entertained. It’s time for the Revolution I tell you!
