Clearasil Sponsors MTV Skins

Despite strong opposition from Parents Television Council against MTV’s Skins, Clearasil is supposed to keep advertizing for its products during the show.
The Parents Television Council recently urged viewers to complain to their state attorneys general about the show Skins allegedly violating child porn laws. The PTC also demanded the zit cream Clearasil to stop advertizing during the show. The idea was to starve the MTV show Skins out of money. A recent Facebook post claims, “Go post on their page, call and fax them. Ask them how they can reconcile their actions - paying for Skins to air with their goals - always striving to make life easier for our consumers.”

However Clearasil has shown its inability to pull back its advertise from the show. The Spokesperson of Clearasil said, “Clearasil buys advertising time in blocks and the networks slot our ads wherever they have free time.”
Clearasil sponsored the Skins show on Monday. During the show, one of the characters said, “Piss a piece of toilet paper and rub it on your face.”

While stressing about inability to disallow MTV to use Clearasil advertisements during the show of Skins, Clearasil spokesperson said, “Clearasil does not endorse any specific show on any network, nor the personal views or opinions that may be voiced on such shows. Clearasil also does not pay for product placement in any shows.”
