HEY YA'LLS!
If anyone hasn't really been watching the news lately, you've missed a new Glee controversy. For the cover of GQ magazine, controversial (I say that because he has had several allegations of sexual harrassment and abuse thrown his way, and he likes younger girls in his shoots) photogrpaher Terry Richardson photographed 3 Glee cast members as oversexualized high school stereotypes. Actually, he only photographed the girls this way. The only male on set was allowed to wear his clothes at all times, perform activities that didn't require spread legs or bending over, and he was generally not the focus of the shoot. The Parents' Television Council recently released a statement calling the photos in question "pedophilic" and demanded apologies from the involved cast members.
All actors in the shoot are well over the age of 18, and can do as they please. I do find it slightly pervy that the hypersexualized schoolgirl stereotype is being used so blatantly, but, this is a magazine intended for adult men. If this was a shoot for Seventeen magaizine, I'd understand the anger. I guess I'm on the fence, and I'd like to read everyone else's opinions on this matter. Please keep discussion civil and don't call anyone bad names or put a pox on anyone's home.
Here are the photos in question.
