OMG, Says Parents Council to Gossip Girl's OMFG | Today's News: Our Take | 4/24/2008
It was only a matter of time. Media watchdog group Parents Television Council is hot on the Louboutin heels of the CW's "OMFG" marketing campaign for Gossip Girl, saying it's just too sultry. The print and online campaign has been heating up for the past few weeks (you can take a peek here!).The Council takes issue in particular, with what they say is a "sexually suggestive photo showing a teenage boy kissing a girl's cleavage." In a statement, PTC said it "deplores the CW's deliberate use of profanity and sexual imagery to exploit and further corrupt young viewers." Further, the Council adds, GG "glamorizes casual sex and drug use among teens. Storylines have featured a would-be teen rapist, threesome among teens, and teenage girls having sex with adults."Gossip Girl and the CW are only the latest target, however, of PTC wrath.

Administered through the University of Georgia, the Peabodys is hardly a stuffy institution. This year’s eclectic list of honorees, released earlier today, ranges from terrific critical breakthroughs like NBC’s 30 Rock and AMC’s Mad Men to such deliciously offbeat choices as Showtime’s darkly delicious Dexter and Bravo’s stylish Project Runway, the first reality show ever to make the cut. (For a full list of this year’s and past years’ winners, go here.)I have come to know Peabody director Horace Newcomb through our joint participation on many AFI Awards jury panels, and he’s as serious, and seriously open-minded, about quality in both news and entertainment programming as it gets. This year’s Peabody Board chose from more than 1,000 entries to select this year’s... read more
Ask Matt | 3/28/2008
Q: Surprisingly, I have quite enjoyed the edited version of Dexter on CBS. What a darkly mesmerizing show and performance by Michael C. Hall! Now that the strike is over and TV is back, are there any plans for the second season to air on CBS? I figure it's probably a long shot, but it's the only place I'm going to get Dexter and so I'm trying to stay optimistic. A: I agree that it's probably a long shot, but you never know. I doubt CBS would have put Dexter in its own prime time in the first .. read more
