Culture

One of my favorite tv shows is a new show on MTV called Skins. It's an remake, word for word, of the British series skins. It's your typical sitcom about highschool teenagers getting into trouble, dealing with relationships, and peer pressures that every other teenage kid goes through. Some may see it at controversial because of the sexual situations and drug use that occurs, but British teens say our show hardly hits home. Though the show is pretty muc ha scene for scene replica, most the nudity and raw sexual content has been edited out. British teens say that American Tv loves to exploit violence but skips out on the nudity. This is a hge different in culture. Skins airs a new episode every monday night at 10 o'clock. This is considered much too early in the evening, when children could be awake too see this. The censoring of tv is a huge difference in culture between Britian and the United States.
