Has anyone seen the new Nickelodeon television live-action comedy series “Marvin Marvin,” a new television program directed at children?

The TV show, which is only a few weeks old, stars Lucas Cruikshank as the title character, Marvin Marvin, an alien teenage boy who lands on Earth and must adjust to life in his strange new environs.

Well, it didn’t take long for the Prock Chocolate Corporation to insidiously weave its way into the plot line, did it?

The second episode, entitled, fittingly, “Toothache: Chocolate Fever,” aired on December 8th.

Pounds and pounds of chocolate product were visible onscreen.

This program, which will spur an FTC investigation if the Obama administration is as committed to public safety as it claims to be, sends dangerous, mixed messages about chocolate consumption to children, tweens and teens.

On its corporate website, Nickelodeon, owned by $15b media behemoth Viacom, boasts that in the aforementioned episode “Marvin’s desire for chocolate knows no bounds.”

That’s the understatement of the century!

As you can see in this repulsive clip, Marvin goes on a chocolate-eating (…and drinking….and smearing) binge.

What a shame, people, that the writers and producers of this new program were too creatively bankrupt to recognize that they were missing a golden opportunity to send the right message to kids, who are, after all, our most precious resource.

Indeed, what if an alien came to planet Earth and registered shock at the levels of childhood obesity levels, junk-food consumption, and marketing directed at children?  What if an alien came to our planet and brought with him healthful snacks such as kelp, dried seaweed,  fresh fruits and “fun” vegetables such as “Radish Mice.”

I urge everyone to write to Paula Kaplan, executive vice president of Current Series at Nickelodeon, and respectfully remind her that the  airwaves  are supposed to belong to the people—NOT big chocolate and the media conglomerates funded by their advertising.
