Parents Group Condemns "Gossip Girl" Episode Featuring Teen Threesome

US Magazine reports that "after on-air promos for Monday's upcoming show hinted at a sexual threesome, the Parents Television Council has asked affiliates of the CW network not to air the episode.(Next week's threesome involves three main characters in the show, but they are not identified in the promos.) Airing the teen tryst, which is being teased in an ad as a '3SOME,' is 'reckless and irresponsible,' the nonpartisan education group's president, Tim Winter, said in a statement Wednesday. 'Will you now be complicit in establishing a precedent and expectation that teenagers should engage in behaviors heretofore associated primarily with adult films?' Winter said, adding that it is 'expressly targeted to impressionable teenagers.'"

As the New York Daily News put it: "In France it's called a 'menage a trois.' In America, it's called a 'bad idea' - at least according to the Parent's Television Council." Tweet
