MTV Dogged By Criticism

MTV2 says it has not decided if it will re-air a cartoon criticized as offensive for depicting women being led around on leashes, reports the Associated Press. And it is also uncertain if the series, "Where My Dogs At?" will even come back for a second season. One episode, aired in the early afternoon, featured an appearance by a cartoon Snoop Dogg accompanied by two women in neck collars and chains. The net says the episode was a satire of an actual Snoop appearance where women were in collars and chains. "We certainly do not condone Snoop's actions, and the goal was to take aim at that incident for its insensitivity and outrageousness," says spokesman Jeff Castaneda. "Even one of the dogs, a main character on the show, states, 'I find that degrading and I am a dog.'"
