OMFG?

So, Adage this week is talking about the Gossip Girl promo in which they use OMFG (Oh my F-ing God). It has been getting a lot of media lately, and thought I would put it out there to see what others think. Personally, call me old, but I am not a fan of the campaign or the show, maybe it is Lost-like cult that I never got hooked into, or perhaps I just didn't like the taste of the Kool-aid. And ironically it isn't the F word that so bothers me but the God reference. Has TV gone too far? Yes, I fully understand that this is what the language of youth is, but looking at historical trends, will things swing back to a more conservative, and if it is a trend that occurs naturally, will that still happen if network TV is encouraging it? Don't get me wrong, I like edgy, out there, fun. But can we not be a bit more creative and intelligent about it? I don't know, what is your take on the ads? I think they left me with more questions than answers, was that the point?
