OMFG?! Is This Desperate or What?

Going lowbrow to raise eyebrows is "Gossip Girl's" newest lame attempt for ratings.
Gossip Girl
Should a show targeted at middle/high schoolers really be using "Oh My F**king God" for a tagline in their print and TV ads? Parents Television Council on line 2! LOL!

46.
Examples: Drew Barrymore, Paris Hilton, Britney and Jamie Spears, the Olsen twins, and my neighbors children. Dr. Phil is right, "who's in charge?"

It is one thing to allow the child decision making rights into their own lives, but my goodness. What is worse is that the parents do what the children tell them to do. The child is in charge and make all of the decisions. I am embarrassed for the parents when I witness this happening at the malls, in restaurants, on television; then I laugh at them.

TMZ stop throwing stones; I see you threw all of that glass.

47. Does TMZ realize how many teens look at this site? TMZ shows provocative pictures of naked celebrities with well-placed stars that leave basically nothing to the imagination. TMZ has been known to say 'WTF.TMZ uses the F-word with a well-placed asterisk in place of one letter. And now TMZ points the finger at "Gossip Girl"? Are you kidding me? It is astounding how hypocritical TMZ is on a daily basis. OMG(osh)!

48. It looks like an ad for a porno. I am not opposed to nudity or profanity at all, but not for this demographic. I think this is a bit racy for middle schoolers-- maybe even high schoolers.

51. I am so tired of all the trash on TV and movies. Everyone who is involved with these trashy shows says it is the parents responsibility to monitor what their children are watching. Let's face it, a lot of parents are not doing the job of monitoring their kids. These kids are being exposed to things they should not be, they are bombarded with SEX all the time on everything, and then they are all told to "be careful they could get Aids or other diseases or pregnant. What a mixed message... Why can't we have more shows on TV that are family oriented and promote good choices for a change?

About ten to fifteen years ago you could hardly find a G or PG rated movie to take your child to. Now the "movie business" has figured out that there is BIG MONEY in "kid" movies. Parents don't want to pay a sitter while they go to the movie, they want to take their precious little one to a movie that they can all see! While they are there they buy popcorn, candy and an icee.

Also, this is why families are loving shows like American Idol, Deal or no Deal, Survivor, and all the other family friendly reality shows!!!!

52. I can't believe that people are saying that this add or TV show is no big deal and that teenagers have sex and cuss anyways. It doesn't make it right. That is why when I have children I am not going to have TV. It is sooo corrupted. Peopled don't have morals anymore. People are sheep.

54. First of all, this show isn't targeted to middle schoolers(or 6 yr olds dallas). If you read the books, you would know that the books are way racier. And the show isn't all that much different from the OC or 90210 and nobody complained about them.

55. more like seriously STFU

56. UMMMM NUMBER 48, taking a tv out of the picture bc it is corrupted is not going to stop the world from being corrupted and HELLO to everyone freaking out over this, gossip girl did not create omfg, a teenager did when we started abbr everything AND it doesn't say what the words are so why the big fuss, unless your kid knows it already then it doesn't matter and if they do then gossip girl didn't show it to them, and also the f and the g don't have to mean the actually words, gosh comes to mind. and its not a lame attempt for ratings bc they don't need them its a great ad idea bc it goes with the show.

58. You all should try watching the show before you start judging it. If you would, you would see that usually all of the bad things like drugs, sex, and alcohol are seen in a bad light. The promo is an example of what Serena used to be and if you watched the show, again, you would see she is trying to be a good girl and her past is being thrown in her face. Also, for all these moms that think there daughters or sons are just the sweetest thing in the world...think again. I am 20 and I have a sister and everyone she is in school with is messing around. Did I mention she is only 13. Yeah. Get over it! It's a show!

60. haha if you think this is bad, watch the show haha

and besides, the show is really aimed for a older audience. it comes on later, not at 4pm people. and seriously did you let them watch the OC? sammmme thing. and come on, 2nd graders know more swearwords now than as a freshman. lets be honest people... and if this is going to let you change your mind about letting your children watch the show, did you sit down and watch it before letting them? so if you are going to pull the whole " my child wont watch this anymore!" you are a band wagon parent, only figuring out the right thing to do AFTER the media tells you what to do.

grow up and get up yourself
