Nickelodeon: If Chris Brown Wins, Blame Kids

Posted Mar 9th 2009 7:00AM by TMZ Staff

Everyone's wondering why in the world accused woman beater Chris Brown is still up for two Kids' Choice Awards. We finally have an answer -- Nickelodeon is blaming the kids.

Instead of being responsible adults and taking a stance, Nickelodeon, which airs the award show at the end of the month, is hiding behind their tiny voters. A Nick exec tells TMZ Brown "was nominated by kids several months ago, and the kids who vote will ultimately decide who wins in the category."

In other words -- kids rule! Who needs adults stepping in to teach young minds why Mr. Brown might not be the best role model?

Remember, kids also want cake for breakfast, unlimited allowance and the keys to Dad's new Porsche.

1. Damn kids and their rap music and pac-man video games.

Everything's their fault!

2. I forbade my son from voting for him.

Told him why and he agreed (so I didn't actually have to forbid it - they knew he was a creep) that someone like that shouldn't win.

3. Actually, I wouldn't be surprised

if most kids didn't know of or understand the entire situation. The Nickelodeon awards has always allowed kids to choose the winners, and any decent parent isn't going to allow their kids to use most celebrities as a role model.

In the end, I really fail to see this as an issue - and I'm a parent of 2 kids.

4. I also want the keys to dad's Porsche and I am 40. nt

5. Aren't you advocating a form of censorship?

That's a Grateful Dead avatar, isn't it? Seems to me they ran afoul of the law on several occassions. Should you be disencouraged from listening to their music?
