CRTC Sees Nothing Wrong With "Bully Beatdown"

A Fredericton anti-bullying activist is surprised and disappointed about the decision from the Canadian Radio Television Telecommunications Commission on the fate of the M-T-V show "Bully Beatdown".

Not only will the show remain on the air, there are no restrictions on when it can be shown. The show features a bully tangling with a martial arts fighter for money with the premise being the bully gets a taste of his or her own medicine.

Rob Frenette filed the complaint saying it sends the wrong message that more violence is the way to take care of bullies.

Frenette is considering an appeal. He accuses the C-R-T-C of just giving lip service to his concerns. He also tells CHSJ News Premier David Alward supports his efforts to get the show taken off the air.
