MTV's 'Skins' Too Racy, Advertisers Pull Endorsements! (Blog)

Chewing gum giant Wrigley has yanked its ads from MTV's controversial teen drama, Skins.

"Wrigley has decided to suspend any advertising during MTV's Skins as it is never our intent to endorse content that could offend our consumers," a rep for Wrigley told Access Hollywood on Friday evening. "Any ads that previously aired during the show were part of a broader advertising plan with the network."

Taco Bell moved its ads off the show on Thursday after the Parents Television Council called for a government investigation into the show for child pornography and exploitation.
