Arianna and Mary come to a consensus on Egypt, but clash over whether the science behind man-made global warming is prophetic or merely profitable.

There's a theory out there that posits a giant "feedback loop" between MTV and other purveyors of youth culture and the kids who consume it. Shows like "Skins" actually do hold up a mirror to a portion of their audience.

Not only is the exploration of sex, drinking, and drugs on Skins a good thing, the show's writers haven't gone nearly far enough.

Take one remake of a risk-taking British series about disaffected youth, throw in protests from a TV watchdog group, add a few advertiser pull-outs and you're good to go with a controversy that will keep the show in the media spotlight for weeks.

MTV's version of Skins is, in my humble, vaguely nauseated opinion, repellent -- but not for the same reasons that the PTC and several advertisers have judged it similarly.

Pregnancy -- like teen sex -- is no longer a secret. It's ratings. The progression from hidden shame to primetime programming raises questions. Have we gone from ignoring the issue to glorifying it?

I don't want to be a prude or come across as the predictable religious party-pooper. But I have to ask the executives of MTV and producers of Skins: Really? Even this? Is there no line you won't cross for profits?

It's beyond dispute that the child actors are pretending to have sex in MTV's Skins. The question becomes whether it's graphic and explicit enough to fall within child pornography statutes

If Skins is canceled, I want it to happen because we the people decided it wasn't a good show, not because the government got involved and canceled it.

MTV is a business -- not a non-profit -- and their responsibility is to their shareholders. If you don't like Skins, turn it off -- don't blame MTV. Let's not allow TV or the media to raise our children.

Skins will interest you whether you're a teenager or not. I sat down to watch five minutes of the pilot, and two hours later, I was haunted by the characters.

For most of us in America it's startling not only to see the physical change to manhood in Nicholas Hoult, but to remark how intriguing and comparable his roles are in About A Boy and A Single Man.

The show has been quite controversial, apparently British teenagers now throw 'Skins parties' where they do drugs and have sex.
