The CW series Gossip Girl is constantly showing teens drinking, using drugs and having sex...and in the last two weeks, the show featured a storyline in which a teenage college boy has sex with two of his female friends. This "threesome" is shown as glamorous, exciting, and a "rite of passage" that every single college student must experience before leaving school. Gossip Girl is targeted directly at the teenage audience, and was the top-rated show among girls age 12-17.

Gossip Girl was sponsored by cellular phone company Verizon Wireless. But Verizon Wireless doesn't merely show commercials on Gossip Girl...it also offers text message "updates" about the sex-soaked show to Verizon users, as well as sponsoring an Internet video series with showing even more Gossip Girl to teenage phone users.
