Re: Glee's GQ cover shoot: playfully saucy or wildly inappropriate?
In the article Glee's GQ cover shoot: playfully saucy or wildly inappropriate? Lee Ferguson addresses the controversy surrounding the "inappropriate" photoshoot taken by Glee stars Lea Michele, Cory Montheith and Dianna Agron. The controversy surrounds the girls stylized highschool vixen personas. Many are disappointed that the magazine has chosen pictures that depict characters from a teen-themed series in sexualized poses while the Parents Television Council insists that the photos "border on pedophilia". I think pedophilia is way far off, as Lea Michele and Dianna Agron are in their twenties, and Cory Montheith is almost 30. I think that everyone is blowing this way out of proportion by saying that these photos will make teenage girls feel like they have to be sexualized in order to be desired. Being a teenage girl myself, these photos don't make me feel like that. Girls who do feel like that however, won't feel like that because of these pictures. There's many other reasons why teens would feel like that, and the Parents Television Council should focus more on that than of pictures of legal age actors in a photoshoot. However, I do think that a lot of this controversy could have been avoided if the photoshoot didn't take place in a highschool.
