PTC Gets Its Panties in a Twist Over Glee's "Pornographic, Pedophilia" GQ Spread

If anything justifies a slushie in the face, surely it's this kind of nonsense.

Yesterday, GQ's requisite hit-it-big, do-a-sexy-photoshoot spread featuring Glee hotties Lea Michele, Cory Monteith and Dianna Agron hit the Internet.

But while the snaps elicited the usual squees from teens and passing interest from adults, the ever-offended Parents Television Council had quite a different reaction: the conservative watchdog think it's tantamount to pedophilia.

The fact that the people involved are well past their years as minors—Michele and Agron are 24, Monteith's 28—seems to make no mind to the PTC.

1. Screw that...

I want to see Finn wearing the undies like Lea is wearing. (Though not pink!)

4. Hell, let him wear the pink ones just for shits and giggles.

:evilgrin:

2. Why does the guy have all his clothes on?

:popcorn:

3. Why the fuck are they looking at GQ in the first place?

The target audience is high school boys (and other guys with 8th grade mindsets). If the kids want porn, they can find more of the REAL stuff than they can use in a lifetime with a few mouse clicks or go get a cover off of a Cosmopolitan magazine. Besides, that GQ cover doesn't even qualify for "risque" - just "moronic".

5. If this were pedophilia, it'd be illegal.

And the FBI would be raiding the GQ offices.

Has that happened? No.

PTC may find this disgusting, alright. But as far as First Amendment rights go (and child pornography is NOT protected under first amendment) this "simulated porn" type of stuff the PTC is decrying was decriminalized back in 2002 (see the US Supreme Court case Ashcroft v. ACLU).

Maybe the PTC members should move to Indonesia, where the publication of Playboy is straight up illegal...because of Sharia law (and what does that reflect about the PTC's values??)
