While speaking about the GQ photos of “Glee“, The Parents Television Council stated that the photos are disturbing and the pictures are “sexualizing” actresses who play the role of teen-aged high school characters in the series. Tim Winter, the President of PTC also said that the photos border on “pedophilia” and it shows the unnecessary “sexualization” of young actresses in entertainment. Tim Winter also said that he feels that the creators of “Glee” have showed their intention to direct their show to a different direction and as a result, it is going to be bad for the families.
