Wrigley Pulls Their Ads From MTV’s Skins

First Taco Bell pulled their ads from the MTV show Skins and now Wrigley chewing gum has announced that they have done the same.

A Wrigley rep told Access Hollywood:

“Wrigley has decided to suspend any advertising during MTV’s Skins as it is never our intent to endorse content that could offend our consumers. Any ads that previously aired during the show were part of a broader advertising plan with the network.”

The show has come under fire by the Parents Television Council (PTC) who have called for a government investigation into the shows use of children actors, an action they call child pornography and exploitation.

According to the watchdog group the show uses:

“foul language illegal drug use, illegal activity as well as thoroughly pervasive sexual content.”
