Has MTV's Jersey Shore and True Life, I'm Addicted to Meds reality show gone too far?

Have the FCC guidelines over what is censored on television been stretched too far? Explore the standards set on MTVs hit reality show, True Life, I'm Addicted to Meds. While I watched this on MTV yesterday, I watched as a camera crew captured the story of two young people struggling with the realities of being addicted to pills. One of the users snorted a line of a crushed up pill by using a rolled-up dollar bill. It showed exactly how the woman consumed the drug, even showing the way she rolled the dollar bill.
Is this the type of material suitable for potentially unmonitored children who may be tuning in? Have the guide lines gotten too flexible in what should and shouldn't be censored? Is MTV tarnishing their image by airing these reality shows? Is MTV basically laying out an instruction manual on the way to properly consume drugs? Or, is MTV attempting to raise awareness about an important and real issue by showing the harmful consequences of abusing prescription drugs?These are all questions that may arise from concerned parents wanting answers.

Another popular reality series, Jersey Shore, began in the summer of 2009 and reached 1.3 million viewers on its debut with the finale bringing in more than 4 million viewers. The show captures the wild lives of eight Italian "guidos" and "guidettes" as they party at the Jersey Shore. If one were to evaluate the reoccurring theme in Jersey Shore, one might conclude the main focus is sex.
On one episode, Snookie, a cast member of the show, hooks up with a random guy a couple nights after hooking up with, Vinny, her roommate. This is another example in determining whether MTV is crossing the line on what is appropriate and what is not. The concern may lie in whether this highly-watched channel is going too far on what is shown on their network. MTV may be sending the wrong message to young viewers who account for their main audience. Should MTV executives start reconsidering what image the channel is trying to condone? How desensitized has society become?
