MTV 'SNOOP' POOP - STINK OVER 'ANTI-WOMAN' 'TOON

Media watchdogs are barking over an MTV cartoon that portrays a Snoop Dogg-like character leading two women around on leashes - before scooping up their poop.

The new MTV2 animated series "Where My Dogs At?" satirizes such Hollywood stars as Michael Jackson, Britney Spears and Lindsay Lohan.

But industry pros are incensed over the portrayal of women and blacks in episode four. The half-hour episode, "Woofie Loves Snoop," debuted last month - and until it was removed yesterday, the offending clip was just a click away on MTV.com.

"Seinfeld"'s Jason Alexander voices Snoopathon Esquire III, who struts out of his Caddy with Parkay and Marjorie, two bikini-clad black women wearing dog collars and leashes.

The rap star orders one to "hand me my latte" as she squats on all fours and scratches herself like a canine.

At the end of the scene, Snoop dons a plastic glove and picks up his enslaved ladies' defecation.

"This only serves to reinforce negative images of women, conveying to kids on a Saturday afternoon that all women are bitches and hos," said Paul Porter, founder of IndustryEars.com, a watchdog group.

"In my 10 years of monitoring children's programming, I've never seen anything this offensive."

R.E.A.C. Hip-Hop Coalition, a media-justice group, is calling for MTV to ax the "misogynistic" episode.
