If teens have sex in real life, why can't they on television? The question has already been asked, and the answer is usually "because ad revenues say so." But today Robert Thompson, a professor of culture at Syracuse University, pinned TV and film up against books by asking how is Skins different than explicit sex and adult plot lines in literature.

Well, we could end the argument by saying more kids watch TV than read books, and visuals are more seductive than 11-point New Baskerville font, but we won't. Let's ignore that intrusive point on the grounds that kids have access to pretty much every book ever written. Thompson cites the perennial high school freshman read Romeo and Juliet as a tale with a message unfit for 14-year-olds: two kids kill themselves because they can't be together.

Then he moves to the sexually graphic, masturbation fest of a book Portnoy's Complaint, which probably wasn't on your high school reading list. He read it early (and, just a guess, but probably often) and told NPR today it was transformative for him. Read what he said below.

When I first heard that MTV was adapting the British series Skins for the states, I was somewhat skeptical. How could the network possibly replicate it when nearly every UK scene involves some form of profanity or sex? But after watching the first footage, I'm pleasantly surprised to see that the US version is staying true to its predecessor without seeming too watered-down.

Set to fast-paced music, this trailer hints at several of the original's eyebrow-raising themes (think drugs, drinking, and neighbors in the buff). But if you need more proof of how similar the two versions are, then click here for another preview with dialogue and scenes that are almost identical to the British pilot. The only major difference from what I can tell: no English accents! It premieres in January, but take a peek when you read more

If you're looking for a unique way to decorate your tech, GelaSkins is the way to go. With hundreds of fun and funky designs, there's a skin for just about any piece of tech you own, from a Kindle to an iPad, iPhones, BlackBerrys, even the Motorola Droid series. Now they've partnered with Charity: Water for a special line of skins.

Charity: Water is an organization dedicated to providing clean drinking water to developing countries where it isn't readily available. Designs range from a blue doodle to a design made up of the yellow water jugs the organization uses to bring water to those in need, to stunning photography from areas of the world it was able to help. One-hundred percent of the net proceeds from each skin will go directly to the cause.

If you were searching for a reason to buy a skin for your laptop, search no more — the new line of Eclipse gadget skins from Skinit have you covered. Announced yesterday, fans of the Twilight Saga can adorn their electronics with character faves for a daily dose of eye candy, and still keep their gadgets looking so fresh and so clean once they've outgrown the phenomenon.

Starting at $15, your laptops, MP3 players, ereaders, and more can be skinned with the faces of Bella, Jacob, Edward, the Wolf Pack, the Cullens —or heck, all of the above — just in time for Eclipse to hit theaters on June 30. But it doesn't stop there — made from high-resolution images and printed on 3M vinyl, mega-fans can even purchase life-sized skins of the cast to stick on their walls at home. Now the hard part — choosing which character to buy. Sorry Edward, I'm Team Jacob all the way.
