The media manipulators at Gossip Girl have successfully ginned up some conservative outrage over their OMFG ad campaign. WorldNetDaily and Parents Television Council are upset about the poster at left (apparently real!) not because it shows Nate and Serena hooking up but because it uses "cleavage kissing... to hype [a] kids' show... 'The Parents Television Council deplores the CW's deliberate use of profanity and sexual imagery to exploit and further corrupt young viewers," drugs are bad, strip clubs are bad, drinking is bad for teens, etc. etc. I just like repeating "cleavage kissing." Bigger picture of the scandal poster after the jump.

This is a show for kids? Because I really thought GG was aimed at older teenagers (so they can aspire to clothes they can't afford, but contemplate illicit swim parties) and embittered wage slaves in their 20s and 30s (er--the same?). This may be the same demographic that watches Skins in the UK (a show with more drugs and better acting, but less frivolity).
Older teenagers? I thought it was aimed at older 'mo's who love the high-end bitchiness and the androgenous(sp?) boys.
Nope. It's aimed at illiterates who don't understand how their country is being led into fascism. (Sorry. Happy! Snark! Awesome!)

I'm divided on the cleavage kissing issue.
I'm more concerned about that gaping, so-drunk-she-fell-asleep mouth of hers. Eh, been there.
@jaywalke: I think I can stradle the line for this one.
@valarmorghulis:
Would that put you between a rack and a hard place?

OMFG they forgot the unsharp mask.
But I thought right-wingnuts wanted to keep the troops in her rack for another 100 years.
Mixed-message conservatives!
Really, I though it was aimed at dimwits who don't have the good sense to change the channel during crappy TV shows.
Wait...it is.
Um, unless she's wearing a push-up bra designed by the Marquis de Sade, this is more of a clavicle kiss.
Its the open mouth of ecstasy that really has their panties in a bunch.
@jaywalke: ha!
