"The CW has received complaints from the Parents Television Council over upcoming scenes in Gossip Girl. According to reports, the PTC sent a letter to the network which addresses a threesome to be screened later this season. The note read: &amp;quot;By now you must be aware of reports in Entertainment Weekly and elsewhere that the November 9th episode of the teen-targeted drama Gossip Girl will feature major characters in a sexual threesome. &amp;quot;To include a storyline like this on a program that is expressly targeted to impressionable teenagers is reckless and irresponsible. I appeal to your highest sense of decency, respect and common sense in urging you to preempt this episode. &amp;quot;Television is profoundly influential in the lives of children, especially when it comes to sexual decision making - it has even been described by one researcher as a &amp;quot;sexual super-peer&amp;quot; - signifying television\u2019s power to amplify, many times over, the peer-pressure teens are already feeling to engage in high-risk sexual behaviors.&amp;quot; PTC president Timothy F. Winter ended the complaint: &amp;quot;Please be advised that the PTC will monitor this episode very closely. &amp;quot;Our members will not hesitate to contact local and national advertisers; and if this program violates broadcast decency law, rest assured that our members will contact the Federal Communications Commission.&amp;quot; &amp;gt; &amp;#039;Gossip Girl&amp;#039; threesome &amp;#039;worth the wait&amp;#039; "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
