It was quite a debut for the reality show...and one of its cutest contestants

Average folks don't always look so fab in their dirty underwear.

But Survivor: Gabon's Marcus is an obvious exception to this season's nothing-but-the-clothes-off-your-backs wardrobe constraints. Even Charlie, his tribemate and an openly gay lawyer from NYC, can't stop drooling over the boxer-clad hetero Harvard grad.

Alas, poor Marcus caused quite a flap in the show's debut when his own tribe member managed a daring escape from the no-fly zone during a challenge...

In Survivor's premiere HD episode, CBS slipped and aired his unpixelated penis.

The Parents Television Council watchdong—er, dog—group quickly filed an indecency complaint with the FCC, and didn't like CBS' response "that the incident was 'fleeting.' "

"The number of 'fleeting' penises we expect to see on broadcast television is zero," the outraged PTC decried.

We suspect the audience for tonight's new episode of Survivor—and Charlie—feel otherwise.
