Gossip Girl In Trouble With Parents Council

The Parents Television Council has asked CW affiliates to preempt an upcoming episode of Gossip Girl in which a threesome between the main characters has been teased. Promos for the show identify the act occurring between unidentified characters in an episode entitled 3SOME. The episode is scheduled for November 9th.

In a statement, PTC president Tim Winter called the behavior “reckless and irresponsible” and called the show “”expressly targeted to impressionable teenagers.” The group has urged all stations carrying the popular show not to air it. 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?”
