the nate/serena one is a piece of the puzzle in season one as far as their relationship and the undertones it brought to everyone's relationships from serena and blair's friendship to chuck having dirt on serena to why nate still has feelings for serena and is not sure about a continued relationship with b.
that being said for it's placement... that one is still a little raunchy and the chuck/blair one is as awkward looking as the kiss was on the show.
I like the show but the ads don't represent the fullness of the show. it's not all about sex--similar to the swingtown ads on cbs.

And if you want to be "realistic", than yes teens are having sex, but definitely not like they do on Gossip Girl. (In the backseat of a limo after breaking up with your nearly bethrothed; getting filmed in an "almost" sex tape etc etc). Even Blake and other cast members have stressed over and over again that this show is NOT a depiction of real life.

People who think the Nate/Serena ad is a little too risque aren't overreacting, even if those of you who think you're just so "cool" and "grown-up" say so. I'm almost 18, and even I have to admit that ad's a bit much. And seeing as how this show is targeted towards teens younger than I am, it's understandable that people might not want to see teens having orgasms on an ad for a "teen" television show. (Especially considering that I don't think I've seen anyone practice safe sex on GG)
Anyway, I think the ad for the new season is giving the show a bad name. GG, although still grossly unrealistic, was a classy, interesting show full of drama and great fashion. There was still sex/sexual references, but it was always in kind of a tasteful way. Now, these ads just make it look like sex is the focal point of the show; like it's soft teen porn. I don't mind a little sex every now and then (I know when to separate fantasy from reality), but Idk if I could stand to watch a show if it was ju

also I think the PTC and other conservative people/ some parents are naive about how innocent teenagers really and truly are. There are teens that have sex and yes even do drug. LETS BE REALISTIC HUR. Dur! Also the promos arent scandalous one but. Its just the open mouth of ecstasy in the Serena/Nate one that has old people all freaked out. LOL.

somebody tell that dorothy woman to put a sick in it, cuz these promos r so OMFG HOT! I luv the Serena and Nate one most sure its over the top but hey...so is the show. The Blair and Chuck one is hot too but im more of an extremist! LOL. They are not scandalous so the old people can go back to watching re-runs of the Golden Girls and Murder She Wrote. Great ads! Gotta love it!

Okay, so this show is for 18+ there is now reason
why any of these ads should be considered too
extreme. If you are afraid of your mother seeing it,
you obviously shouldnt be watching the show.
Nate & Serena definitely gets the point across 100x better
than Chuck and Blair.

i have mixed feelings about the ads. a part of me thinks that they are really cool and scandalous, but the other part of me feels that alot of parents will no longer let their teenagers watch the show anymore because they'll get the wrong idea of it. sex is not all this show is about. it has to do with what these supposedly "incredibly lucky" kids have to go through. i think its supposed to show that money doesn't buy happiness. yeah they live with the best of everything but almost all of them are missing love and emotional support from their parents and sometimes friends. but the ads and commercials fail to reconize that. i understand that "sex sells" but i think the ads could use a little substance...

Pfft, get over it, im a teen and im a huge fan of the show, I love both ads but i like the nate and serena one better, duh we're not little kids anymore who gives a crap wut the ads show, they're both hot and being used to promote the show, if someone thinks its too extreme then they shouldn't watch the show, its not like they show nudity on them.

its not about being "a bunch of kids" we're able to reconize that the people from gossip girl went too far with this add and its honnestly not appropriate. i don't care if it is a show aimed at kids or not. the fact is those ppl on the add "represent" teenagers. the characters are teenagers and thats not something you should be promoting.
Else than that i love the chuck & blair one.. yummmmy.

I agree with Chris above! I think that both ads are awesome. For personally it's Serena and Nate as Ive been their fan since day 1. I like Blair and Chuck too. I think the producers could get it more right. And the ads are saucy sexy. But the main thing they have a character, unlike a lot of generic staff that tv has been feeding us lately...Well done and Thank you for spicing things up a little!

April 14th, 2008 12:01 PM
wow...you guys are a bunch of little kids.
i thought both ads were very sexy and exciting.
if you guys can't handle what they put on the ads (which is obviously gonna be on the show) then you guys shouldn't be watching the show. it's obviously not for your age group.

i like the chuck/blair one theyre my fav couple plus
i think the nate/serena one is WAY TOO EXTREME. The chuck/blair
one is just right it's sexy and hot but not extreme.
Clare
April 12th, 2008 1:05 PM
I cannot believe this! I think the Chuck/Blair one is sexy, but the Serena/Nate one is WAY and let me repeat, WAY too extreme. they aren't even technically a couple on the show! AARGH! and OMFG the nerve of the ad company, or whoever's idea this was, cause it was a bad one@
Elizabeth
April 12th, 2008 12:52 PM
Uhm, wow. I first saw the poster of Nate & Serena on
PerezHilton.com, and I was like WOW. The Blair
and Chuck one is better, as the lesser of two
evils. Though I do like the Chace & Blake one, lol.
I just hope my mom doesn't see them or else
I will never be allowed to watch that show again.
She already took away Degrassi. *sobs* When I was just
barely recovering from her taking away The O.C.
LOL.

I think the new adds are a little much. I'm a huge fan of the show, but honestly: Gossip Girl
Isn't all about sex...and more sex! If the creators of the show think this is the only way to
convince people to watch the show...There's something wrong!
