a) Clip is freaking hysterical. What's even better is that they cheer for it at the end. :)
b) If this was showing at 8 p.m. primetime, I would not be a happy parent (assuming I was a parent). My 8-year-old should not see that on TV. Too young to understand that it is humor.
c) If this was 9 p.m. primetime, I am okay with that. Any tween, teenager could watch this, IMHO. They say and do a lot worse in reality, I believe. Also, it presents an opportunity to talk about sex - and how society uses it as a tool for humor/ratings/etc. Just MHO.
I do believe it was over-the-top, but I don't think it was that offensive. Then again, IMO people who are that concerned about their kids being exposed to sexual imagery (explicit or simulated) should watch the shows with the kids, and use the remote if something comes on that makes them uncomfortable.
This is the 21st century... parents can easily TiVo episodes, watch them without the kids, and judge whether or not that show/episode/scene is suitable for their kids. Network censors can only do so much as far as warnings and parental ratings go, after that it's the parents' responsibility.
Plus although it was very... cheeky? bordering on tasteless? IDK... it was far from the most sexual thing on primetime recently, even between teenagers.
I think part of the reason it bothers ppl/parents is that it's closer to what they think HS should be/is like as opposed to some of the more graphic sexualized shows. So that when it goes over-the-top it freaks them out more.

b/c) It's a 9 pm show. Yeah I think it's pretty true to what one would see in HS.
