Gossip Girl Tries Threesome

The Nov. 9 episode of Gossip Girl will end with three major characters getting down—in the biblical sense—and in tandem. The right-wing political action group the Parents' Television Council hasn't seen the episode, per se, but doesn't like the news reports. PTC chief Tim Winter blasted the storyline as "reckless and irresponsible" for a show that is "expressly targeted to impressionable teenagers." Winters also told CW affiliates in a letter that if they aired the episode they'd be "complicit in establishing a precedent and expectation that teenagers should engage in behaviors heretofore associated primarily with adult films.” However, it's unclear if Gossip Girl really targets teens: The show airs outside of the traditional family hour and boasts an average viewer who is age 27.
