The PTC Strikes Again
That Posting From The 1990's Guy 16 December 2006 20:41:52
	PTC's latest target: Brent Bozell's panties are in a twist over the April 14th episode of "The O.C." so he's urging folks to boycott its advertisers. Quote: "The O.C. invites impressionable young viewers to envy the glamorous teen-aged lead characters who reside in a wealthy, beach-front community. Far from using that influence responsibly, the producers chose to glamorize under-age drinking, drug use, and promiscuous sexuality." (posted by a TV Barn contributor @ 03:46 PM May 9) -- that mischa barton sure is a hottie especially when she's high, drunk, and turning lezb0 for sweeps week.
