Car giant GM has joined Taco Bell in pulling advertising from MTV's racy new drama series Skins, according to the Parents Television Council, which has been leading the crusade against the show featuring sexually suggestive content presented by underage actors.
Ads for GM's Chevy Volt aired during the premiere of Skins on Monday. GM now told PTC that Skins was on its ‘do not buy’ list on MTV. “Every single advertiser who sponsored the premiere episode of ‘Skins’ is not only endorsing, but glorifying teen drug and alcohol abuse, not to mention a plethora of baseless sexual content," PTC said in a statement.
