The Parents Television Council is angry at the CW network over next week's Gossip Girl plot surrounding a threesome, and is urging affiliates to protest the episode.
Usmagazine.com reports that the group's president, Tim Winter, said the plot is "reckless and irresponsible."
"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."
A CW spokesperson told the Associated Press that the median age of Gossip Girl viewers is 27-years-old, but Winter said, "such a claim doesn't even pass the 'laugh test.'"
Last year, the group protested Gossip Girl ads in which the cast appeared in "morally questionable scenarios," according to Usmagazine.com.
