Parents Group Tries to Stop Gossip Girl Threesome Episode

In another case of groups trying to control what others can watch, instead of simply not watching a program, the so called Parents Television Council is trying to get affiliates of The CW to not air an episode of Gossip Girl next Monday because it contains a threesome. This is the same group that is always outraged about something, from Family Guy to Janet Jackson's nipple.

If they don't like it, turn it off. That's why we have remotes.

The topic matter is sort of fucked up for a TV-show about teens but this is why parents need to actually do some parenting sometimes (which sadly too few do).

Would it be wrong of me to jerk off to the threesome scene?

Out of curiosity why is the topic "fucked up" for a tv show about teens..?

Maybe i'm a total weirdo.. but i had my first three some in highschool (and that was over 10 years ago) >_< it seems completely "realistic" to me... i mean teens are sexual. (i've never watched Gossip Girls though and have no idea if this fits in with the shows normal topics or whatever)

Also, of course i don't have children... but i guess i can see how it's "uncomfortable" for some parents to think of their teenagers doing that.

The best way to make more people watch a show is to bitch about it being "inappropriate".

Because teenagers have enough bright ideas without television saying 'oh hey, maybe you should have a 3 some'.

This same reasoning got The Road Runner booted off the air because fricken dumb assed kids were too stupid not to try what they saw on TV..

It pissed me off when I was a kid and it pisses me off now.

Why do we always have to cater to the stupidest common denominator?

Maybe these Parent Groups are being paid so that more people will know about the episode and then watch it.

This would be a devious and effective marketing ploy.

Best review of the "Threesome" episode posted online

Quote:
Last night was the much anticipated “three-way” on `Gossip Girl’, and in a very much related story, kiss my ass ‘Gossip Girl’. Even though it featured Hilary Duff slightly nuzzling up against another girl, that was not a three-way according to any rational definition of the term “three-way”. It’s only a three-way if at some point you ask the girl if she likes it and the only answer she can give is “hhrrummm”.
oh, the excitement - What Would Tyler Durden Do
