PBS says good night, Melanie, now security will escort you out. Melanie Martinez was the star of The Good Night Show, the
marquee show on the PBS-Comcast preschool channel,
Sprout. At least, she was until this week, when a parody PSA promoting "
technical virginity" (
video, NSFW) from her starving actress days resurfaced, thanks to a
Memphis radio station. PBS fired her, saying that the "video is inappropriate for her role as a preschool program host," even though it pre-dated her Sprout work by many years. A new meaning for the word
dooced?
