The Parents Television Council is threatening to declare war on CW affiliates who broadcast next week’s Very Special Threesome episode of "Gossip Girl."
In a letter to affiliates obtained by TheWrap, PTC chief Tim Winter blasts the scheduled storyline as "reckless and irresponsible" and claims the show is "expressly targeted to impressionable teenagers."
The head of the right-wing political action group says CW affiliates that air the episode will be "complicit in establishing a precedent and expectation that teenagers should engage in behaviors heretofore associated primarily with adult films."
Winter then makes it clear that local affiliates have the right to preempt programming that doesn’t meet the interests of their community.
