Glenn Martin, DDS on Nickelodeon

Episode Summary

 

WARNING: GRAPHIC CONTENT

 

Do you think Las Vegas strippers, discussions of sex and orgasms, and a cannibalistic murderer make a perfect TV show for your young child?

 

Nickelodeon does.

 

The self-proclaimed “place for kids” showed all the above – and much, much more equally disgusting and disturbing content – on its nighttime show Glenn Martin, DDS March 8th. And this show runs at 8:00 p.m. – only 7:00 p.m. in the Central and Mountain time zones!

 

Here’s some more of the depraved content Nick thinks is appropriate for your kids:

 

-          A gangster’s eyeballs being tazered and his eyeballs are pulled out

-          A man at a table with a fork and knife waiting for the gangster to remove Glenn’s appendix so he can eat it

-          Glenn becoming a male stripper, licking a stripper pole and performing a suggestive dance…then imagining a male customer wearing his wife’s sexy teddy and saying,  “Get back here and have sex with me.”

-          A man has sex with a woman while Glenn’s 13 year-old son is handcuffed to him.

-          Afterwards, the woman says, “that was practically orgasmic.”

 

Nickelodeon also rated this show PG – meaning the network thinks it’s appropriate for kids as young as seven.

 

Other episodes of Glenn Martin have included Glenn being hit in the face by a bloody placenta as his wife gives birth; his wife stripping to support the family; a woman’s face being bloodily mutilated by a chainsaw-wielding maniac; tons of sexual references and innuendo; and the young son’s entire head being crammed into an elephant’s rectum.

 

Some people say, “If you don’t like what’s on TV, change the channel.” But Nick is showing this ON A NETWORK INTENDED FOR CHILDREN -- AT 7:00 p.m.!

 

It is outrageous that Nickelodeon is pushing this kind of content at children – and it’s outrageous that, if you have cable or satellite TV, you’re FORCED to pay for it!
