MTV’s bad trip continues: Two more advertisers have pulled out of the network’s controversial series Skins.

Chewing gum company Wrigley has suspended advertising on Skins after running a commercial during the premiere episode, according to the LA Times.

And H&R Block, whose ad also appeared on the premiere episode, told TMZ their ad ran “by mistake” and it will not happen again.

MTV says they will not comment on specific advertisers, but issued this statement: “We have an ongoing dialogue with our advertising partners about the best fit for them on our networks. We know that not every show works for every advertiser. That said, we are confident that Skins will continue to connect with the audience it was created for and that advertisers will take advantage of the opportunity to reach them.”
