Page Six: MTV pulls 'Cowboys and Findians' episode after protest
"MTV has pulled a controversial episode of "The Dudesons" off its Web site after the American Indian Movement of Santa Barbara called for a boycott. The episode showed the show's four Finnish castmates in silly costumes pulling stunts to become honorary Indians. One Dudeson had his crotch crushed by a totem pole. "In response to concerns raised by viewers and out of sensitivity to the Aboriginal community, we will not be repeating the episode of 'The Dudesons' in question," an MTV rep informed AIM in an e-mail."
