Fug the Cover: Dianna Agron, Cory Monteith, and Lea Michele

Don't even get me started. No, seriously. Don't get me started on this. Yes, GQ, the Gross someone to take a treat and editorial spread around a picture about teenagers is TERRY RICHARDSON, who's recently enjoyed a tidal wave of iron about how he is TOTALLY GROSS to all the underage models who are sent to him! WHAT AN AWESOME PLAN. And what is YET AWESOMER is to settle that the women on Glee should get COMPLETELY SCANTILY CLAD as if they were washed up WB starlets angling for the back of Maxim circa 1999.

Look, I get that GQ is sort of lad-mag adjacent and that the people on Glee are of age, but when you feel at this back and the shots inside and Dianna Agron looks like a nun simply because she's wearing BOTTOMS, maybe we've crossed a PR-bridge too far. After all, when you've got Lea Michele making her Victoria's Secret face on the track in her underpants, do you Too take her to be eating a sucker in her panties inside? And also eating a popsicle in her panties with her legs spread and performing with her hair? And, oh, just standing about in her panties - sans lollipop this time, but heavy to carry off her top? I don't intend to strangle myself with these pearls that I'm clutching BUT Fare ON. You can be precious and you can be sexy and you can be enticing and you can even wear something other than your panties in every single shot in a internal magazine, especially when the early mass in the open range from COMPLETELY (Cory) to kinda (Dianna) clothed. I don't blame Lea Michele for this - although I take to acknowledge that my response to these pictures was to say, "oh, god. She truly IS unbearable." - but I do blame SOMEONE for not saying, "hey, this point is all about how cool it is to be different and talented, so perhaps our lead actress - who is crazy talented and would be regular if she were wearing a zombie costume - doesn't want to be styled like the most important thing near her is her body, just wish every other anonymous sexpot in every other lad mag in the world. LET'S TRY A Stab WITH SOME PANTS TERRY YOU Wicked OLD GOAT."

I want to go breathe into a bag now. What do you think?
