GQ's sexy photo shoot of Glee actors 'borders on pedophilia'

PERHAPS ...... BUT AS SIDNEY WOULD SAY .... PHWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORRR !!!!

GQ Magazine's recent racy photo shoot with three actors from the TV show Glee has prompted the Parents Television Council to criticize the photos for oversexualizing a show watched by teens. But what bothered them exactly?

 PTC announced in a press release its opposition to the GQ photo shoot with the Glee actors. “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," reads the release. It adds the photo shoot "borders on pedophilia

The photos depict the actors playing their characters with skimpy outfits and titillating poses. The female actors are showing the most skin; the male actor is predominantly clothed.

In an interview, PTC's director of public policy explained his group's position. "It's deeply concerning, because these actresses are playing teenage characters on Glee," said Dan Isett. He said Glee is largely popular with a younger demographic and the show's producers and magazine editor "used the show's cache to cash in on this oversexualized photo shoot."

The Parents Television Council is a non-partisan education organization advocating responsible entertainment. The organization has more than 1.3 million members across the U.S.
