The “Parents Television Council” is pissed off that the GLEE cast participated in a too sexy, over-revealing photoshoot for the latest issue of GQ Magazine. PTC’s President Tim Winter said, “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. It borders on pedophilia.” Well I have to agree Tim! Who’s to blame for this? GLEE producers, dirty bird photographer Terry Richardson, the GLEE cast or GQ Magazine?
It seems like every show is pushing the sex card super hard now! It’s like the studio heads feel as if they need to make their movies, shows and photoshoots with a red siren alert of sexual attitude, so they can score a guaranteed mass audience of men for their viewership/ratings/box office numbers. If the programs have a lot of sexy girls, guys and sexual scenes, then they know they will lose their audience of children, tweens, pre-teens and young teens, but they will gain more of an older aged audience. What’s funny is that sometimes the children’s parents will send their child to their room so they can watch the show instead! Crazy right?

Choosing the ‘sex card’ for GLEE doesn’t make sense really, because the GLEE show storyline is about teens in high school, and real-life teens in high school watch the show, so why would the Producers of GLEE push the sex card and push parents’ buttons? GLEE has it’s target audience watching, so what’s the reason for being racy? It’s unnecessary to do it- I say it’s “unnecessary” because I have good morals and values, but the money-hungry studio wants more money, and in order to get more money, they know they need to gain a larger, various-aged audience to tune into the show now. In order to get an older audience- men in this case, the GLEE producers arrange to do a racy photoshoot with GQ Magazine & greasy photographer Terry Richardson, and they instruct the cast members like puppets to do a sexy photoshoot like ‘wearing a mini-skirt and spreading Rachel Berry’s (Lea Michele) legs wide open while she’s sitting in a high school locker room’. Richardson has quite the history of getting girls to spread their legs for the camera, but he’s not to blame completely…
The children and teen viewership numbers just aren’t enough to satisfy the GLEE producers/studio heads, so they send their GLEE cast to a sexy GQ photoshoot in hopes to gain more viewers (more viewers=more money)! Is it going to work? Of course! I can already see in my crystal ball- I see a middle-aged man tuning into GLEE on Sunday just to get a glimpse of the ‘girl who spread her legs wide open’ in GQ this month! Sex sells and everyone’s buying!
Speaking of bad decisions, this season of Entourage has thrown out all morals and values completely. The show brought in a real-life (censored) star to play a (censored) star in the show, who’s dating the star cast member Vinny Chase (Adrian Grenier). Vinny Chase is on pot, pills, Tequila, coc and he’s going out with a girl in the show who does gangbangs in real life. Is this how one gets viewership nowadays? Stooping to desperate and dirty measures for money? Do the GLEE producers think that a popular show with (censored) is in their range of competition? I never thought GLEE would have to sell out with the sex card to get success. What a shame.
