PTC, which has exhibited sound judgement in the past, should be heeded. The
episode described is beyond the boundries of decency and good taste.

Group Urges CW Stations Not to Air 'Gossip Girl'
New York - On-air promos for a sexual threesome on an upcoming episode of
"Gossip Girl" have spurred the Parents Television Council to ask affiliates
of the CW network to pre-empt the show.
Airing the teen tryst, which is being teased in an ad as a "3SOME," is
"reckless and irresponsible," said PTC president Tim Winter in a statement
Wednesday. The threesome involves three main characters in the show but they
are not identified in the promos.
The PTC has urged CW affiliate stations not to air the episode, scheduled
for Nov. 9.
In a letter to the affiliates, Winter asked: "Will you now be complicit in
establishing a precedent and expectation that teenagers should engage in
behaviors heretofore associated primarily with adult films?"
This is not the first time the PTC has complained about the sexy prep-school
soap, which Winter said is "expressly targeted to impressionable teenagers."
In July 2008, the organization spoke out against a racy marketing campaign
for its new season. Ads showed intimate moments between the show's
characters (on a couch, in the sack or apparently skinny-dipping),
accompanied by headlines like "A Nasty Piece of Work" and "Mind-Blowingly
Inappropriate."
"CW has been defending graphic content on 'Gossip Girl' by asserting that
they don't target teenagers," Winters said Wednesday. "Such a claim doesn't
even pass the 'laugh test.'"
CW spokesman Paul McGuire said the target audience for "Gossip Girl" is 18-
to 34-year-old women, with a median viewer age of 27 years old. The network
had no comment on PTC's complaint, he said.
The Parents Television Council describes itself as a nonpartisan education
group advocating responsible entertainment.

PTC adherants need to learn the golden rule concerning television decency.
"Turn the Fucking Channel". Many of us don't agree with your concept of
decency. In fact, me might just outnumber you. We have a right to watch
what's on TV. Now go get a life, "J".
What about the children? If it were only adults with access to television,
I'd agree with you 100%.
Let the goddamn parents deal with the children, asshole.
Just stop trying to tell us what to watch.

What about the children?
Ah, the old conservative mantra. A screech, really. "WHAT ABOUT THE
CHILDREN!?!???!??!??!?!??!?"
They'll survive, just as they survive everything else you kooks think
will wipe them off the face of the earth.
How many children died when Janet Jackson showed her tit on TV?
Zero. How many were maimed for life? Zero. How many were
temporarily disabled as a result? Zero. How many had attacks of
nerves so severe that they had to be institutionalized? Zero. It's
the adults who have the problem. Quit using kids in your arguments.
In the UK, that would have been laughed of as an 'unfortunte incident'.
Ah. In the U.S., a fabulous PR firm called it a "wardrobe
malfunction", which, I have to say, is the most delicious attempt at
damage control I've ever seen!
Quote: As for children, don't they see their mother's tits when they're suckling?
Mine boys certainly did. My wife was often topless in front of them, until
THEY were old enough to be embarassed by it.
Yep. Any kids watching the incident weren't offended by it. Maybe
embarrassed by it, but only if they were in the company of adults at
the time. If alone, the younger ones would have laughed, the older
ones might have made lewd comments. Nobody died, nobody was injured.
It wasn't the prettiest boob in town, but nobody went blind looking at
it. |

It's not censorship, the PTC holds no such power.
They've just given the show promotion that no amount of money can
buy.

All you did was run out of stories about homosexuals today, but, being
still in the mood to troll, decided to find something about sex and
kids to complement your earlier story about a man fucking a horse. |

BS, you'd probably rather go drink a sixpack in the basement, leaving the
children to fend for themselves, wouldn't you? Do you even have
children? Adults are responsible for what their children watch on TV,
and if they can't monitor their own kids they deserve what they get.
BTW, I'll join you in the basement, if you have enough beer for both of
us.
Me? I prefer to allow my kids to watch whatever they want. Why shelter
them from what they'll learn later on in adulthood anyway? At least mine
are ready for it. I say, you might as well give them an early start on
the real world. With this outlook, you also tend to get very realistic,
first hand movie reviews!
Well, maybe I'm just about out of the picture anyhoo. My eldest is 24,
and my younger is 17. But I've held fast to this opinion since that
first Big O...
I wasn't referring to 17 year olds; more the 11-14 range, when kids are more
impressionable to what they see. Are you really looking to promote this type
of behaviour, which is much different than asking people to acccept it. Kids
have enough problems at that age; they can find out thressomes when they're
a little older.
Oh, stuff your propaganda, Junkie Young.
Quote: Despite what you may think, I know kids aren't stupid. I give them enough
credit to figure out how to watch a television show even if their parents
strictly forbid it.
But you think their stupid enough to let it influence them.

So you think parental rights should be stripped and television content
should be controlled by the government, just as it was in the Soviet
Union or as it currently is in our ideological enemies in Iran and the
PRC?
Could you possibly be any more communist, J? As any real conservative
will tell you, big-government simply doesn't have the competence or
the legal authority to dictate television watching content to all
Americans. The market will decide. If enough people like it,
advertisers will too and they will make money. If not enough people
like it, it will be canceled and replaced with something else. Commies
like you, J, simply don't have any genuine belief in America or
American principles. You always run to the state.

"We apply the limitations of the Constitution with no fear that
freedom to be intellectually and spiritually diverse or even contrary
will disintegrate the social organization. To believe that patriotism
will not flourish if patriotic ceremonies are voluntary and
spontaneous instead of a compulsory routine is to make an unflattering
estimate of the appeal of our institutions to free minds. We can have
intellectual individualism and the rich cultural diversities that we
owe to exceptional minds only at the price of occasional eccentricity
and abnormal attitudes. When they are so harmless to others or to the
State as those we deal with here, the price is not too great. But
freedom to differ is not limited to things that do not matter much.
That would be a mere shadow of freedom. The test of its substance is
the right to differ as to things that touch the heart of the existing
order. **If there is any fixed star in our constitutional
constellation, it is that no official, high or petty, can prescribe
what shall be orthodox in politics, nationalism, religion, or other
matters of opinion or force citizens to confess by word or act their
faith therein.** If there are any circumstances which permit an
exception, they do not now occur to us." - US Supreme Court, West
