MTV2 has drawn fire from a watchdog group called Industry Ears for an episode of its new animated series, Where My Dogs At? The Associated Press reports that the organization took issue with images of an animated Snoop Dog leading two women around by chains attached to neck collars, which the rapper actually did once at a red-carpet event.
Created by comedian Jeffrey Ross and scribe Aaron Lee, Where My Dogs At? spoofs the insanity of Hollywood by showing it through the eyes of two dogs who roam the streets of Tinsel Town and find themselves in the company of celebrities who often grace the covers of tabloids. The show premiered on June 10 and has recently completed its first season. Producers are now waiting to see if MTV orders another slate of episodes.
In the meantime, MTV defends the show, which actually points out how wrong the Snoop Dog appearance was. One of the dogs even says, ‘I find that degrading, and I am a dog.’” Still, the network is apparently deciding whether or not to pull the episode from rotation. Complicating the matter is the fact that the fairly adult show airs during the afternoon, unlike Cartoon Network’s late-night home for edgy animation, [adult swim].
