The advertising campaign that's received more free publicity than paid exposure

After 45 Internet years late to the debate, the notorious overreactors at the Parents Television Council, who like to hear the sound of their own voice more than we, are complaining about Gossip Girl's rampant use of explicit sexual imagery and tweenage acronyms. The "sexually suggestive photo showing a teenage boy kissing a girl’s cleavage" in the ads, as well as the use of the phrase "OMFG," is much too much for PTC. The whole campaign is just a "deliberate use of profanity and sexual imagery to exploit and further corrupt young viewers, and has warned its members about the show and the new ad campaign." As for the show itself? It's "the most-watched show among girls 12-17 and glamorizes casual sex and drug use among teens. Storylines have featured a would-be teen rapist, threesome among teens, and teenage girls having sex with adults." WHICH IS WHAT MAKES IT AWESOME.
