Because everything is better... in america. No but seriously, it's probably because every other country in the world steals every show the states makes, so why not return the favor when they have the chance?
This makes me sad... Skins is english... they better not turn it into a messed up sitcom or something ridiculous.
Everything is definitely better in Europe. Oh, apparently the first three episodes are going to be exactly like the first three episodes of season one of Skins. I don't even know. I just saw the trailer and it looks horrible. xD
