High School 'Glee' Stars Sex it Up for GQ; Will Media Ignore?
The Emmy-winning Fox television show “Glee” has quickly produced some of the most recognizable faces in American pop culture. As of this week, three of these high school role models are revealing a lot more about themselves than just their faces. Posing in threesomes and straddling locker room benches, actors Lea Michele, Dianna Agron and Cory Monteith appear in a racy 13-photo spread in the November issue of GQ Magazine.
“Glee” a musical-style TV comedy-drama about the complicated lives of several high school theater geeks, airs at 8 p.m. Tuesday nights on Fox and it hasn’t gone unnoticed. This cultural phenomenon has managed to garner between 6 and 10 million viewers per episode, in only its second season. Its characters have since appeared on the covers of popular women's magazines and in Hollywood blockbusters. It’s safe to say “Glee,” is everywhere.
The provocative photos are certainly not appropriate for a high-school viewing audience. Michele and Agron (who are both 24, but play characters much younger) appear in little more than bras and underwear and sexy schoolgirl outfits, wrapped around Monteith and each other. In the most shocking photo, Michele (the supposed good girl) is holding a red lollipop, spreading her legs open while seated on a wooden locker room bench wearing nothing but socks, heels, underwear and low cut t-shirt revealing her bra.
“Glee” has been touted by TV critics as a “truly groundbreaking new comedy” and “powerful” in its portrayal of high school students dealing with real-life issues. Everything from religion, homosexuality, and budget crises to teen pregnancy, gossip and oral sex have been featured. The characters are considered impactful… “giving a voice to anybody who’s ever been unpopular,” said Fred Topel, contributing writer to Edge, “the largest network of local Gay, Lesbian Bisexual and Transgender (GLBT) news and entertainment portals in the world.”
Only time will tell if the media will report on the negative impact of these over-sexualized high school characters.

Point of Glee
I cannot figure this show out. I watched it with my daughter last week. The music part is fine, but it's so campy I thought it was written for little kids, until two cheerleaders were kissing in bed. Then my daughter said "Euww", and she's pretty openminded. The cheerleaders wore only cheerleading outfits throughout the entire episode, the characters were one dimensional, and the plot was pathetic.
If it didn't have GLTB characters I don't think it would be getting all this praise, it would just be another incarnation of High School Musical.
Time to boycott Fox again.

Here are a couple of the other pictures in the spread
They try to excuse it by saying the actresses are in their 20's.
So now I'm thinking....why on earth do they have 24-year-old actresses playing high school kids? Is that supposed to excuse their portraying high school girls as sluts?

You can thank child labor laws in part for that.

Shawn, Yes, a show that
Shawn,
Yes, a show that plays on free television at 8pm CST. My 6 year old son turns on the television to watch Diego, Barney, etc and while flipping the channel to get to his channel his sees this garbage, GLEE, on television. I have to RUN to the TV and shut it off. My 6 year old son is shocked and I have to sit and explained to him why two women kissing on the mouth is wrong, harmful, sinful.
Now, I have blocked every single television channel except Sprout, NickJr in the morning.
GLEE is garbage of a show and GQ should be ashamed of itself since now when my 6 year old son and 4 year old daughter go with me to the grocery store they will see GQ on the check out line racks and these half dressed freaks on the cover. Tell me what should I do, Shawn? yell at GQ, at the grocery store manager, cover the eyes of my innocent children? This is the problem with a culture that is oversexed, they do not see the harm that covers like GQ do to children.
My point Liberallies
Shawn, Two wrongs do not
Shawn,
Two wrongs do not make a right. GQ putting this on their coverage is playing into the garbage of GLEE and promoting it.
The media should care, especially since like I mentioned, GQ is a magazine which cover is easily visible while you are waiting on the check out line. My 6 and 4 year old can see it. My nieces and nephews, who range from 1 year old to a 16 year old, will see this garbage while waiting online in the supermarket.
American culture, Western culture is in decline and GQ and GLEE are contributing to it. The media should care about the decline of our culture, but they are too worried about contributing to it and promoting garbage.
Doesn't bother me
Shawn, While it may not
Shawn,
While it may not bother you or me, it does bother me that my children can see it, that my young nieces and nephews can see it.
This is what drives me crazy about you, as long as Shawn is ok with it, it should be ok. GQ has a right to publish what it wants, but the magazine should be put in a place that it will not be seen by children. placing this magazine, along with the magazines you mentioned with half-dressed women on the check out line puts these at the eye level of children who should know NOTHING about sexiness.
Then perhaps
I actually started watching it this year a few episodes in

Not Nearly As Hot As The Latest Issue Of Playboy...
Wouldn't it be refreshing if GQ grew some balls and actually tried to get some topless nudity into their issues? What a bunch of teasers.

But Seriously, On To The Main Point...
If this is what those Socialists/Marxists blackmailers at the Parents Television Council think of as boarderline pedophilia, let's just hope they never get a plane ticket to Japan and discover the Akihabara maid cafes, if you know what I mean.
the law states that anyone
the law states that anyone appearing to be underage and portrayed in a sexual manner is criminal - and the fBI would like to "speak" with those in posession
these "kids" don't appear to be underage imo - but the program will influence teenagers to make bad sexual decisons that could seriously damage their lives permanently - this show is also pouring fuel on the fire of sex between students and teachers
and i suppose if i want to get the media's attention there are CATHOLIC SCHOOLS out there:)
Congratulations Jimmy Carter!
For the kids that grew up on High School musical...
This show is aimed at girls who grew up watching the High School Musical movies a few years back. It's corny and GAY. It's a little more risque now since the girls this is aimed for aren't 10 anymore.
The only reason it gets mainstream attention because it spoon feeds the gay-activist and liberal agenda to youngsters in its storylines. It's derivative and unoriginal.
It's the unofficially. . . High School Musical:The Series.
Remember... the show is aimed at girls in their teens to early twenties.

The local Fox station had this on the news. Not condoning the pictures in GQ. I see what these women have done for "Gentleman's Quarterly" as turning themselves into sluts and visual whores, debasing themselves. I do not think GQ can not call itself a gentleman's quarterly, gentlemen do not debase and use women for there own lustful pleasures. GQ, Playboy et al exploit women and men to make a buck in the most corrupt way
GQ is a fussy gay men's fashion magazine
Never saw one in a barber shop.
I guess that explains why I
I guess that explains why I have never read or boughten a GQ.
This is exactly what he makers of Glee wanted
