"A Nasty Piece of Work"

Groups are targeting the CW to stop airing the raunchy night time soap, Gossip Girl after commericals teasing about a "3Some" became apparent.

The group, PTC (Parents Television Council) has before tried to get the CW to cut the cable on the show, deeming that it is inappropriate for teenagers.

Because you know, that teenagers are largely impressionable.
Threesomes seem to be all the rage now, from Britney's song to now this. Is it going to become more mainstream? Who knows?

But, the CW is defending their choice to air the episode. The characters who are involved in the liason have not been leaked (although if you're quick on the interweb you might find out who's who). What I don't understand is how these parental groups think that causing a big fuss over a show like Gossip Girl is going to do anything. Don't they know that the more they tell their "impressionable teenagers" not to watch this "Every Parent's Nightmare" show that, in effect, that is exactly what they are going to do. Hello, Genuises.

I don't watch Gossip Girl and I don't plan to, Blake Lively is about as interesting to me as watching paint dry. Huzzah. Also, the show thrives on its bad publicity, as evidenced by the ads, and so this little bit of controversy is exactly what they need. Interestingly enough, the average age of a Gossip girl viewer is 27 reported by a CW spokesperson.


The episode in question will air November 9th.
