Channel [V] Puts Moral Responsibility To Younger Viewers On Ice

Music network Channel [V] has been howled down after they called for viewers to send in their “favourite memories on ice”.

The station claims it was a tie-in with the Will Ferrell movie, Blades Of Glory, but parents and watchdogs aren’t so sure, after SMSed entries featuring reminiscences about viewers’ experiences with the government’s favourite drug were also put to air.

“Fair enough the question was supposed to be about ice-skating, but someone’s obviously being mischievous in the way they posed the question and then put all those responses up,” viewer Shelly Hanson said yesterday. “I’m a mother and a teacher and I was appalled to turn on the TV to see such irresponsible behaviour from a show that attracts teenagers – Channel V should be ashamed of themselves.”

[V] sez the show was clearly rated MA and that the mums should shaddap, and that they are in fact developing a PSA-style program about ice.

Hopefully this will involve wide-eyed James Mathison in deep discussion about ice bugs.
