Fired for a joke

Okay, this pisses me off. Melanie Martinez, host of "The Good Night Show", a PBS show for kids, was fired this week because of this video.

It's a freaking 30 second joke about sex. It's not obscene or vulgar. It's slightly off-color. It does not encourage dangerous, or risky behavior. She does not get nude, nothing. She mentions masturbation. That's it. And all this was well before she was ever hired.

Argh, this pisses me off.
