Regarding Andy Milonakis, the skits are so idiotic that I would have declared it low-brow in the third grade. It's for people who lawl at a show, not laugh...targeted to junior highers to ease them into the more mature things that MTV/MTV2 have, eventually transforming kids into the innumberable pop culture zombies I know.
You actually expect children to have any say in the matter? It's completely the parents' responsibility (in this case, irresponsiblity) that these children are exploited. What eight-year-old child can you imagine walking up to mommy and daddy and saying "I wanna be a pope zombie on wonder showzen!" And mom and pop lovingly ruffle little Johhny's hair and take him to the MTV studio so he can live his dream of being throwaway comedy fodder for stoners. I hate the idea of money-hungry parents whoring their children out to television, especially wonder showzen of all shows; it shows, as with most parents these days, that their children are expendable, just "things" to them, without a mind, without their own needs and desires. It's like shooting a porn film at a grade school during a class; the kids don't know what's going on or why they're participating, but they're still going to remember and eventually realize what they did and, if by some miracle they grow up to be upstanding people instead of their parents having lifelong influence over them, they'll lose all self-respect. If you ask me, it's psychological child abuse, and nobody can justify this on the terms that it's funney lolz.
