"Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.”

Posted: 10/20/10 at 1:02pmI'm always glad to be outraged- but what are we outraged about?

Posted: 10/20/10 at 1:09pmI think it's the mix of schoolgirl & sex kitten. Creepy for men to be ogling, and a terrible message for young female fans of the show.

Posted: 10/20/10 at 1:22pmCan't say I'm outraged - or even surprised - but I do think they seem to want to have it both ways (concerning what madbrian said.)

Posted: 10/20/10 at 1:24pmI like that furry guy in the middle. He looks fun.

Mr. Furry has an interesting hand position. That would be fun.

I just found it odd. Not outraged, but kind of grossed out by Lea Michele at this point. I get that she is not her character, but I really do not need to see her spread eagle demonstrating that she does in fact wax.

I saw the Lea ones yesterday but finally saw the rest now.
Ugh.
Don't get me wrong, I'd kill for their bodies but still, ugh.
Diana looks sexy just natural but in Lea has to try so hard in those photos.

Yeah, Lea may not be Rachel Berry, but she certainly isn't decor for an auto repair shop, either. That type of photo is usually more fakey-disturbing than anything else, and Lea definitely achieves that.
The guys are always covered, the girls always pretty much naked. I'd love to have Naya Rivera's physique, too, but eeep. They play high school students. Kinda role modelly. Not saying they shouldn't have some sexy photo ops, but, eeep.
Quick, Chris! Do the Tequila dance!

Ehh, I don't see what the big deal is.
Anyone who saw Lea Michele in Spring Awakening saw a hell of a lot more than that.

Posted: 10/20/10 at 6:26pmI just find it a stupid move for people who are supposedly now "role models" for kids. The only point I can see in them doing this is to start a controversy and take peoples attention away from how lackluster this current season has been.

I feel like more people are realizing what a piece of crap the show is, but they have to have a bigger reason to slam it than just the fact that the show itself is not very good. Never has been.
Anyway, this is pretty stupid. These actors aren't kids and frankly if people are going to feign outrage over THIS, then they should really feign outrage over the show's storylines if they're so worried about "the kids."
It's not like when effing Lisa Bonet went all Angel Heart on Bill Cosby, for christ's sake.

I've had a love-hate relationship with the show from the beginning. And yes, I suppose each actor has the right to do whatever they want to advance their careers. But where I cut the show slack in the past when I found all the female roles to be pathological, no matter how funny, it seemed to still convey a good message at the core.
This is not a good message. Once again, vulnerable young girls who have embraced show tunes and not being part of the in-crowd message, have had their heroes skinnied down and sexed up. The actors may be in their twenties, but they are identified by their fans as being underage high school kids. Creepy. Lea Michele in skimpy underwear, a bikini wax, and a f*ck-me pout on her face. Is the message even open for interpretation?

LOL. Oh how I miss the Cosby days.
But I think since the show appeals to so many kids, people are getting their panties in a twist over it, which is exactly what they wanted.

Would it be the same if one of them took a racy role in a movie? I just feel like it's not like this was in ... I have absolutely no idea what magazines young people read so we'll just say Tiger Beat. It's not like this was in Tiger Beat, it was in GQ. Unless they have morals clauses, I don't see the problem.
And I mean - despite the fact that they make gay okay and they sing mostly pop music that's been autotuned, what about this show and their characters should make them role models anyway? They are amoral and despicable people on the show.

Yeah, it's all so very attention getting. There are other, you know, positive (gasp) ways to do that, like making a show that lives up to the hype. I stopped watching a few eps back.
Actually, I don't know how much attention skin really gets on average. It's everywhere. There's gotta be some desensitization after all this constant objectification. Lea's trying comically hard to pose sexily...it looks almost like parody.
The female characters are insane, and now they're naked. Heather Morris got a boob job. Lea Michele's dropped weight. Now they're posing creepily.

Ok I wasn't going to piddle on the party but really folks you are absolutely bat**** crazy. First none of them are naked. Or even "Pretty much naked." As someone already pointed out, Lea Michelle was on stage more naked and no body raised an eyebrow.
And they aren't 'barely legal.' Chris Colfer (not pictured) is the youngest cast member at 19. None of these girls are even 21- they are all mid twenties.
And this show isn't a kids show. It's already shown premarital sex, lesbianism, homosexuality, divorce, drug use- what have I missed? If these kids are supposed to be role models, it's only for Lindsay Lohan.

I just have had enough of Lea Michele. I find her a bit ridiculous.
