We pride ourselves on knowing all kinds of Sapphic pop-culture facts. Each week we share some of the best tidbits on The Huffington Post in our series "Best Lesbian Week Ever." Here's who and what was on our raging gay radar this week.
MTV announced Thursday that it has canceled "Skins," the racy remake of the popular British teen show, after just one season. Deadline was the first t...
MTV's new teen drama 'Skins' has caused a stir by pushing child pornography laws and airing a teen lesbian love scene, and now several cast members ha...
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.

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.
While MTV's new show 'Skins' takes heat for being too hot (critics equate it to child pornography and advertisers are pulling out), one thing's for su...
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.
MTV's new show 'Skins' is an instant hit -- but is it also breaking laws?
