Spike TV Web site offers pornography
The Spike TV basic cable network, which claims it is the “premiere destination for men,” airs programming obsessed with violence and degrading to women. The series Web site goes even further, by offering visitors video clips of what it calls PG Porn. Parents need to be aware of this site, which contains content that is not appropriate for children or even for men.
Spike’s PG Porn clips feature allegedly humorous vignettes laden with sexual innuendo and plots based on those of pornographic movies. Other skits feature a hefty dose of sexual innuendo and frequent profanity.
PG Porn isn’t the only thinly veiled pornography on Spike’s Internet portal. The site’s Search for the Ultimate Spike Girl allows partial nudity. And in a bikini poll, viewers can vote for the winner. The comments left by such voters cannot be quoted here, but can be seen by any child visiting the site.
