Gossip girl is so over. The show is overrated.
Why wouldnt u let them watch it? love that show xxx
First!!!
FIRST!
love gossip girls
i.
cant.
wait.
=]]]
hi
the boys are hot and the girls are bangable,but the guys are Sexy as hell, so i'd watch it
first!!!
first! and no never!
Hell no. I wouldnt even watch that show.
Personally, I think that Gossip Girl is a terrible example for young girls and they should not be watching it. Shows like this and others are part of the reason why there are so many teen pregnancies these days. I agree with what you mentioned a while ago Perez, films like Juno aren't helping anything. I'm only 14 years old but I happen to be one of the few smart people in this age who aren't stupid enough to watch bullshit shows like this.
gossip girl is for fucking idiots =)
No, I would not let my tween watch that, unless I wanted her to come back pregnant at 14….gross!
Nope, still don't want to watch it. I'm so over the whole sex sells marketing scheme.
I'm 14 and me and most of my friends like adore this show!
Gossip Girl rocks!
tired.
I've seen her "o" face too many times.
ohh also the show is not gettin alot of press and its viewing status has dropped but the only reason i watch it is for the hotness and scandals
LOVE that show so much!!!
5th?
i watch this with my mother!
this is going to be so awkward! damn!
Fist
First. I'm have 14 yers old, and I think this show wouldn't be for 10's and 12's. Here in Brazil, the censorship in the show is for 12's. hmm, what do you think about it?
Um…no! I'm 23 and I love it but it's definately not for tweens or teens…
No but I still love this show!!
what's this show about?
HOT
No way is my tween watching this crap.
NEVER
if you teach your kid properly they would know NOT to act like this..
That's SICK - this show is aimed at 12 year olds. WTF
nobody watches this show. it gets horrible ratings.
Re: mady – If you're so smart, you should understand that it's choices and upbringing that cause children to act out, not television shows. Anyone who's so weak-minded that tv will ruin their moral code shouldn't be allowed around the general population in the first place.
Re: mady – actually, its someones own decision to go have unprotected sex at 14, dont blame TV and Movies. if you had a brain youd know that.
Yes…
Sometimes Perez I think that you're trying to be a moral compass instead of devil's advocate. Were you that innocent ?
Who is NAte with they look dif??
I like the show anyway
Why not? Its just a show. News flash to all the up tight parents who think they can control EVERYTHING their child does. ITS A NEW DAY AND AGE. Things arent the same as they were 20, 10 even 2 years ago. I think that the teens of parents who are super strict and think that ads such as these are so terrible, end up rebelling more than other teens who have more lenient parents. I personally CANT stand parents who look down on stupid things like this and think they are above and better than this., Its Pop culture people. Geez.
I AM A TWEEN AND I WATCH THIS SHOW.! I LOVE THIS SHOW… BEST SHOW ON TV RIGHT NOW FOR TEENS.
these ads are awesome. i don't think they're too steamy.
love the show i can't wait til it comes back! but i don't think i'd let my kids watch it.
LUV IT!
MY TWEEN DOES NOT WATCH A SHOW THAT PROMOTES UNDERAGE SEX!!!!!! IM WRITING TO THE CW TO LET THEM KNOW !!!!!!!!!!!!! I SUGGEST YOU ALL DO THE SAME
I wouldn't really like my daughter to watch it, but I LOVE it!!! I can't wait for the new season!!!!
Who's the girl with Chace??? It's def. not Blake
i don't think this show is inappropriate because of the sex scandal stuff, because teens see that EVERYWHERE! seeing it in one more show is not going to influence them anmore then watching a music video.
i don't like this show because it pushes gossip against peers. highschool is hell without people pressuring you to be popular and cool. this show just makes it eaier for girls to make other girls lives hell.
celebrity gossip and highschool is gossip if anyone is wondering why ni'm on this site if i hate gossip. hollywood allows us to see into their lives, they ask for it when they go into hollywood.
OMG 14 year olds are too goody to watch GG but read Perez.. LOL
It's bullshit shows like this that encourages our society to be even bigger whores than what they are. It's no wonder no one takes today's women seriously, with shows like these all women are made out to be is nothing but a fuckrag. Makes me proud to be a lady lol…
Using conservative criticisms to advertise is a pretty good F-U to the system.
But this shit is wack. Gossip Girl is innappropriat? Sorta like Texas Chain saw Massacre when it first arrived in theatres, right?
Scaramouche is more mind blowingly innappropriat than this trendy ish.
I don't think it has anything to do with the tween market. most people that watch it are older not tweens
TIRED! fo sho! too desperate for attention… LAME
Almost everybody watches. I watch cause I love Chace Crawford a lot and I read all the books (here we only have the 1 until 10-Brazil) I love this show, I'm have 14, I'm not stupid to stay pregnant, GG not influencies me (just closthes, I admit)
I LOVES it!
its what people want to see….its ok. and its not like sex is a huge part of the show. unlike other stupid teen shows, gg has plot thus doesnt fill its show with just sex. sex sells…fill then ads with it but then fill the show with quality to make the audience stick around. thats what gg does…..brillant
i love love love the show. but i am in my mid-20s. no way would i let a tween watch this! Or even an early teen! its way racy and definitely not real life.
I don't care how old you think you are at 14 15 and 16 but you are still a child and children should not be subjected to this kind of shit. the legal age is 18 people, 18! if they thought at 15 or 16 that you were an adult, they make the legal age 15 or 16. no matter how grown up you like to act you are a child and still have a whole lot of learning to do. grow up before you engage in grown up activities, be a kid for christ sake
you realize that by responding in such a way, as in blogging about it or responding to the blog the advertising company has already done their job. Regardless of the fact if you like the show or not it is on your mind. The ad was created to be provocative. You just let them win and you didnt even know it. ha oh people, when will you learn. p.s. its a parents job to teach sex ed and responsibility not a television show. In the end it wont matter what the writers of gossip girl think sells… if a parent does their job. I personally like the show, its a guilty pleasure…. and yea it shows teenagers having sex, but so did shakespeare in a little play, you might know it, its called romeo and juliet. MAYBE WE SHOULD BAN HIM???? ha ha
i love gossip girl!! Chace Crawford is soooo HOTT!!!!!!!
This is a television show for idiots and retards.
It's cool to not give a fuck what people say, but completely uncool to be like (tee-heee, lookey what they wrote… we're so baaaaaaaaaad, hee-hee-hee)
BLECH
PS- what a Fucking Whorey slut ass show
Wouldnt let tweens watch this, no way in hell. And I predict abortions or pregnancies for the ones in the show, how's that for going out on a limb? Sex sells, it'll fly and give tweens all sorts of ideas if any of them arent already doing this crap but again, nope, no way, no how would I let them watch.
No thing is more risque than the show SKINS…Gossip Girl is a lame excuse for SKINS!!!!
I wish SKINS was shown here in America.But instead we have Gossip Girl which is unrealistic(-drugs). I grew up in a very rich town and go to a school where everyone drives brand new beamers and Mercedes.And only wears True Religion jeans and Juicy.But Gossip Girl is still not an accurate portrayal of Rick kids, unless you consider teenagers acting like them to mirror the what they do in the show.
I would feel a bit uncomfortable watching it with my kids but hey…
First of all, the show is incredibly stupid. Secondly, her "O" face isn't doing anything for that ad campaign. Thirdly, this shit will be cancelled after the 3rd season. Trust.
I think it's inappropriate for TWEENS, but after the age of fifteen, I don't think it's bad. Then again, I'm eighteen and I don;t have any kids so I'm not an authority on this subject. I LOVE THIS SHOW, though.
Are these for real!? They look like someone made them at home! They lack the authenticity that the series premiere promos had!
I won't watch until they do full frontal, double penetration and money shots. And maybe a sanchez in honor of Perez. Until then it's just a big tease.
Are they trying to attract the horny tween boys or who??
I'd never let my tween watch it but I am addicted!!!
Naughty me!
To the one that says things arent the same as our parents day. LOL Oh yes they are, how do you think you got here?? They sat up and talked each other into "doing it" just so they could have a baby? Uh, hell no, babe, you are the after effect of a hot steamy, sex filled night with your mom and dad. things are exactly the same. LMBO
Re: mady – I totally agree with you!!! Yes it is just a show but it's also a really bad example for teens! It's setting an example that high school should be a drunken, sex-filled romp with cliques lol.
The marketing tactic is great! Would I let my tween (if I had one) watch it? Hell, no! Would they watch it behind my back? Most likely. Would I watch it (based on these ads)? Hell, yes!!
Wow, I despise this show. I read all the books *and was made fun of for reading them last year* and now everyone LOVES the series, that is nothing like books. Also, how stupid are you? Advertising things that basically just say this show talks about sex is going to make you love be SO many parents.
this is the best show i love it and im 15 but i definitly wouldnt watch it with my mom or dad =]] hahaha
TIRED!T hat show sucks! And its a ratings loser! Why don't they just cancel it already!
