The parents’ advocacy group One Million Moms has launched a petition publicly rebuking Viacom for broadcasting the MTV Video Music Awards, with its sexually explicit content, on Nickelodeon, a channel designed for children. 1MM and its supporters are demanding that Viacom not allow the adult awards show to air on Nickelodeon again.<\/p>\n

The conservative group blasted the media company in a statement<\/a> against the content that included scantily clad performers and sexually suggestive choreography during a time when most children were still awake and watching television during primetime viewing.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe sexually explicit content on this program is inappropriate for anyone \u2014 especially children,\u201d 1MM said.<\/p>\n

The VMAs aired last Tuesday, beginning with a live preshow followed by the main show. Performances featured barely-there costumes and highly sexualized choreography, including hip thrusting, air humping and twerking.<\/p>\n

The most contentious moment came, the group pointed out, when Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion performed \u201cBongos\u201d with numerous backup dancers.<\/p>\n

Nickelodeon, launched over 40 years ago as \u201cthe first cable channel for children,\u201d has long been portrayed as a trusted source of entertainment for young viewers. The channel airs popular shows like \u201cPAW Patrol,\u201d \u201cRise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles,\u201d \u201cPower Rangers\u201d and \u201cHenry Danger.\u201d<\/p>\n

One Million Moms previously warned parents about the network\u2019s liberal animated program, “The Loud House<\/a>.”<\/p>\n

The group urged parents to reconsider their trust in Nickelodeon. \u201cLet this be a wake-up call and reality check for parents everywhere,\u201d the statement read.<\/p>\n

This is not the first time the VMAs have been embroiled in controversy. Past performances have included Lizzo performing in front of a giant balloon resembling a woman\u2019s buttocks, Madonna sharing a stage kiss with Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera in 2003, and Miley Cyrus gaining notoriety for twerking in 2013. The awards show has also been criticized for glorifying drugs, alcohol, sex, vulgarity and violence.<\/p>\n

The decision to air the VMAs on a children\u2019s network has been called \u201cappalling and irresponsible\u201d by critics. Some speculate that the company is grooming the next generation of MTV fans.<\/p>\n

As of Sunday, about 9,500 people have signed the petition urging the company to \u201cnever allow this to happen again.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI am appalled that Viacom would air mature content such as the VMAs on Nickelodeon, its children\u2019s network. The VMAs is an awards show that includes graphic content, and it should never be permitted on a children\u2019s network. I urge Viacom to never allow this to happen again,\u201d the petition reads.<\/p>\n

Last year, 1MM launched a campaign urging American Girl to discontinue its distribution of a book promoting puberty blockers for girls who are expressing confusion about their gender identity.\u00a0<\/p>\n

At the time, the group launched <\/a>a campaign\u00a0urging the doll company to discontinue selling the book\u00a0A Smart Girl’s Guide: Body Image<\/em> and encouraged consumers to stop purchasing products made for American Girl and its parent company, Mattel.<\/p>\n

1MM said the book encourages girls to seek out organizations that will help them mutilate their bodies if their parents don’t support them taking experimental, body-deforming puberty blockers and testosterone drugs. The group also accused the doll brand of attempting to \u201cbrainwash\u201d girls by promoting gender confusion and teaching them they can identify as boys, gender fluid, non-binary or any gender they can make up.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
