Don't we all just love false outtrage. These are the same kind of conservative whack jobs that get upset at anything that is not G rated television
GQ's sexy Glee cover and photo spread has caused quite a stir, and not just with hormonal guys.
The racy photos feature actresses Lea Michele and Dianna Agron in tarted-up, come-hither vixen mode; in one shot, Michele, wearing a top and underwear, is seated on a bench facing the camera with her legs spread open.
On Wednesday, the Parents Television Council denounced the magazine and the creators of Glee, describing the spread as one that "borders on pedophilia."
"It is disturbing that GQ, which is explicitly written for adult men, is sexualizing the actresses who play high school-aged characters on Glee in this way," PTC President Tim Winter said in a statement Wednesday. "Sadly, this is just the latest example of the overt sexualization of young girls in entertainment."
Winter said Glee's younger viewers were "treated to seductive, in-your-face poses of the underwear-clad female characters posing in front of school lockers, one of them opting for a full-frontal crotch shot ... By authorizing this kind of near-pornographic display, the creators of the program have established their intentions on the show's direction. And it isn't good for families."
Though the three Glee actors in the photo shoot portray high schoolers, Michele and Agron are both 24, while Cory Monteith is 28.
GQ responded in a statement: "The Parents Television Council must not be watching much TV these days and should learn to divide reality from fantasy. As often happens in Hollywood, these 'kids' are in their twenties. Cory Montieth's almost 30! I think they're old enough to do what they want."
Reps for the Fox series did not immediately respond to TVGuide.com's request for comment.
And this is what they call near pornography
