"Nearly every major corporation has responsibly decided not to support the non-stop orgy of teen sex, drugs, and alcohol that is MTV’s Skins. All but Clearasil, that is. It’s not enough that Clearasil continues to buy ad time on the teen-targeted program that promotes such irresponsible, even dangerous behavior; in a cynical ploy to forestall criticism of their continued support, Clearasil publicly touted what turned out to be a PSA that only directed viewers to MTV's website and Clearasil's own Facebook page - neither of which gave any information about how to deal with the drug and alcohol abuse so pervasive in Skins.
Clearasil, and its parent company Reckitt-Benckiser need to hear from you.
If Reckitt-Benckiser believes a 30-second PSA can encourage pro-social behavior; they must allow for the possibility, even the likelihood that the surrounding 42 minutes of programming can encourage anti-social behavior. Which is why their continued support of Skins is simply indefensible.
