Glenn Martin, DDS on Nickelodeon
Episode Summary
WARNING: GRAPHIC CONTENT
Do you think Los 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!
