It has been a while since I blogged last!! So, I decided that a "hot topic" today is just what the blog needed!!
I love "Glee," and I cannot wait until next week's Rocky Horror Glee Show!! I do, however, have a huge problem with three of the stars GQ spread. I have a problem with the provocative pictures because of the overt sexuality! The pictures make Britney Spears seem tame and docile, something I thought never would happen!! One of the actors in the provocative pictures is Dianna Agron, who plays Quinn on the show, apologizes, sort of to the upset parents in her blog!
She says, "Now, in perpetuating the type of images that evoke these kind of emotions, I am sorry. If you are hurt or these photos make you uncomfortable, it was never our intention. And if your eight-year-old has a copy of our GQ cover in hand, again I am sorry. But I would have to ask, how on earth did it get there?"
Does she really feel that this is a genuine apology?! I am quite offended that she would assume that most parents would first of all buy a magazine with such overt sexuality, and secondly accept such a horrible apology!! Neither my three year old nor one year old boy would ever be seen with this magazine because it is an adult magazine, but they are being exposed to these shots because I take them to the grocery store with me!! Because she decided to wear very little clothing and dance/jump around while being photographed, all while making a good chunk of change, my children are being exposed to the overt sexuality that leads to increased promiscuity and pregnancy among our youth!! I am not saying that Dianna Agron, Lea Michelle, and Cory Monteith are the reasons for higher pregnancy rates in teenagers, but their spread in GQ is in no way slowing things down!!
I wish they hadn't sold out and went so crazy sexual with this photo shoot, but since they did, they really shouldn't be surprised by the backlash and criticism! I understand art and fashion, and these photos were tasteless with zero art quality! These photos are more appropriate for Playboy, not for newstands in grocery and convenience stores where anyone, children included, are exposed to the pictures.
