The CW has turned all of the criticisms of their last ad campaign, into pull quotes for their latest one. With a new season of Gossip Girl coming up soon, and their new posters proclaim the show is "Mind-blowingly Inappropriate." The quote isn't from an entertainment rag, but rather the Parents Television Council watchdog organization. The NY Post gets credit for another ad, which takes their quote that calls the show: "a nasty piece of work." While the PTC is still concerned about the CW's program, the org is semi-appreciative, noting "normally, we have to pay for our outdoor advertising."
