Glee: GQ Photoshoot with Lea, Diana and Cory borders on pedophilia?

I guess some Glee members are overexposed, literally! Haha.

Lea Michele (Rachel), Diana Agron (Quinn) and Cory Monteith (Finn) recently posed provocatively for GQ magazine and PTC (Parents Television Council) is condemning  and criticizing the makers of the Fox series for allowing the shoot to take place.

According to them:
“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,” the PTC says in the release. “It borders on pedophilia … Many children who flocked to High School Musical have grown into Glee fans. They are now being treated to seductive, in-your-face poses of the underwear-clad female characters posing in front of school lockers, one of them opting for a full-frontal crotch shot. By authorizing this kind of near-pornographic display, the creators of the program have established their intentions on the show’s direction. And it isn’t good for families.”
Hmm. I saw the pictures and how I wish Naya Rivera (Santana) was there instead of Cory Monteith (Finn). Haha. But, seriously, while the pictures - especially with Lea Michele - were a bit too much and unnecessary, I don't see it as something that borders on pedophilia more so a near-pornographic material. It's GQ, for crying out loud! Everyone goes provocative for them. If you don't like it, don't buy the magazine.

Also, let's just be clear: photoshoot for a men's magazine ≠ the show. People need to remember that there's a separation between the characters on Glee and the actors that portray them. Am I offended with this photoshoot? Maybe. But will I stop watching the show? Of course not. What the actors do on their own time is their business.

Check out the provocative pictures after the jump!!

What is? The photoshoot itself or the reaction of PTC? Hehe. :)

The photoshoot. I'm at a loss for words.

Robbie: I like it. Although I think Lea Michele's solo pictures are a bit too much for my taste.

I'm still shaking my head over this. haha.
Lea's has gone over the top, IMO.

Will: Hehe. I wonder why this is becoming such an issue when Lea Michele posed topless in an Esquire Magazine for UK last month (not sure of the magazine though).
