    Default It doesn't take much to get fired

    Maybe you all have heard of Melonie Martinez being fired from a PBS kids show for this little skit made years ago:



    You can read about how she got canned here:



    Just a little something to think about for those women thinking stripping is a good job before going into working with children.


    Anyhow, I will be writing PBS and the producers a letter I can tell ya that.

    I can remember finding these videos ages ago. I was honestly looking for a vid to show a friend how to put on a condom. I was also curious about safer sex. My friends and I always enjoyed them for their sarcasim and humor. She also has one on why/how to use a vibrator. It is of course not explicit.

    I perhaps understand why she was fired, but I don't accept it. Never saw her show. Just another attack from the puritans.

    Pre schoolers and preteens are not going to view this obscure indie film. It's a big ol' false alarm. Adult stuff is for adults and her message was for that audience. It's bizarre that kids exist because of sex and (God willing) will become sexual as they mature but people think they'll implode if any discussion of it reaches their ears. I guess any kid watching Shrek would be scarred for life by all the 'dirty talk' between those characters.

    I really really hate the mantras "we must save the children," or "we must protect the children" when used in situations like this. i understand in the case of pedophiles or abusive adults and such...but this is ridiculous....
