Oh, yeah...here's the back story from my buddies at dlisted.com.
""This is old news, but I haven't put in my two cents about it. PBS performer, Melanie Martinez, was fired by the network for making some stupid video promoting anal sex. Melanie hosted the show The Good Night Show which is aimed at kids.
Melanie made the two parody "Technical Virgin" videos before getting her job on PBS.
The network President issued this statement:
"PBS Kids Sprout has determined that the dialogue in this video is inappropriate for her role as a preschool program host and may undermine her character's credibility with our audience."
Give me a break! She's right! Japanese girls have been doing this forever. She's just giving the facts to teenagers. I wish I had this information when I was younger. Actually I did and that's probably why I can't shit right.
Seriously, I'm sure lots of the old, dirty men on that network have done a lot worse. PBS needs to get over it.""
