I can honestly say that I have never watched an entire episode of "Gossip Girl". There is just something about the show that turns me off. It's probably the same reason I don't want to watch the new version of 90210. The CW in general comes off as cheap and superficial. However, I do like to watch "America's Next Top Model" so it's not like I consider my tastes to be highbrow or anything like that.
Anyway, "Gossip Girl" has a new commercial that is very well done. The song, "Ça plane pour moi" by Plastic Bertrand is played during the commercial, and images are shown very quickly to go with the pace of the song. It's all executed very well, I must say. I will still not watch the show, though.
