Alloy’s sleazy TV show. ————————————–Alloy’s sleazy book.
Both aimed at teens and preteens.

Parents Television Council review of the Gossip Girl TV show.
Channel One’s parent company Alloy, Inc. has published a series of disturbing books aimed at teens and preteens. The Gossip Girl books are meant to be shocking.
In the books, narrated by the unnamed Gossip Girl, teenagers have sex, they constantly drink alcohol, and they smoke marijuana and take Ecstasy and other drugs. Their parents don’t mind, indeed, they often provide the alcohol for their teen sons and daughters. These Alloy books make everything that is self-destructive seem like a lot of fun with no consequences. Alloy’s CEO Matt Diamond oversaw the creation of these smutty books and the production of the new TV show on the CW Network.

It wasn’t difficult to see who the real goddess was. Venus looked like a lumpy pile of marble compared to Serena. Nate staggered over (note: several paragraphs earlier both teens "had martinis at the little bar upstairs") to the fountain and got in with her, and soon they were tearing the rest of each other’s clothes off. It was August after all. The only way to tolerate the city in August is to get naked. Nate was worried about the security cameras trained on his parents’ house at all times, front and back, so he led Serena inside and up to his parent’s bedroom. The rest is history. They both had sex for the first time. It was awkward and painful and exciting and fun, and so sweet they forgot to be embarrassed. It was exactly the way you’d want your first time to be, and they had no regrets. Afterwards, they turned on the television, which was tuned to the History Channel, a documentary about the Red Sea. Serena and Nate lay in bed, holding each other and looking up at the clouds through the skylight overhead, while they listened to the narrator of the program talk about Moses parting the Red Sea. Serena thought that was hilarious. "You parted my Red Sea!" she howled, wrestling Nate against the pillows. Nate laughed and rolled her up in the sheet like a mummy. "And now I will leave you here as a sacrifice to the Holy Land!" he said in a deep, horror-movie voice. And he did leave her, for a little while. He got up and ordered a huge feast of Chinese food and bad white wine, and they lay in bed and ate and drank, and he parted her Red Sea once again before the sky grew dark and the stars twinkled in the skylight. from page 27 Gossip Girl by Cecily von Ziegesar copyright by 17th Street Productions, an Alloy, Inc. company. Note: In the above passage Nate, a high school senior, is remembering his first sexual experience with Serena who is also now a senior. How much younger they were is left for each young reader to imagine. |
The Gossip Girl TV show is produced by Alloy Entertainment a sister division to Alloy Media and Marketing which now is producing Channel One News.
Gossip Girl the TV show is rated "TV 14 DLS" which means it is as about as dirty as you can in primetime. In the first show there were two attempted rape scenes and one long sex scene with two teenagers. There were lots of scenes of teen drinking and several of teens smoking marijuana. One can picture Alloy’s Matt Diamond at his home watching his teen sex show and hoping the ratings go through the roof.
Obligation’s president Jim Metrock said, "Alloy is in the smut business and it should be a crime for Alloy to peddle their sleaze to children and teens. Any adult who puts this slime in front of kids is beneath contempt. Matt Diamond is a rich man because he knows how to grab the attention of young people. What a shame he feels it’s necessary to glamorize drinking, taking drugs and having sex to his youth audience to accomplish his financial goals."
Alloy is the new owner of Channel One News for one big reason: they want to promote Alloy companies and Alloy products to Channel One’s captive audience.
Obligation has not seen any ads for Gossip Girl on the Channel One News TV show or on the Channelone.com site. That however can change at any day.
