U.K. 'Skins' new trailer: American parents should send MTV thank you cards
"Skins" is just the latest show that's throwing advertisers and parental watchdog groups into fits over sexual and drug content.
Of course, the viewers may have already voted on the series when half of its premiere audience didn't show up to watch Episode 2.
Meanwhile, the much more racy U.K. version (which would make the PTC's heads explode according to our British friends) just premiered its fifth season on Britain's E4 channel. Fans of the British series already know that MTV's version shies away from the original in more than just sex and drugs.

I second that statement...
I actually like the UK Skins its soooooooo much better than the Mtv version. I am pretty sure the reason why a ton of people didnt watch the second episode is because its crap.
Yes! I love the UK version.
I think I want to live in Britain! Their version actually looks even better! I honestly didn't see anything that "racy" in the trailer; same stuff you'd see in a movie really.
The US version can never touch the UK version. I'm trying to watch the US version without comparing it to the original. Hard to do, but I'm trying.
