Glee stars Cory Monteith, Lea Michelle and Diana Argon poses in a provocative cover for the November issue of GQ. The stars were photographed in their High School get up as in Glee's McKingley High but with a sexier and edgier twist.

"How the hell did a show about high school theater geeks come to be the biggest TV show in America? Well, T&A helps. (That's talent and ambition, you pervs.)"

"But so does a generous helping of pot-laced brownies, girl-on-girl subtext, and choreographed dry-humping. Gleeksters Lea Michele, Dianna Agron, and Cory Monteith pull Alex Pappademas into the vortex," says the magazine of the cover shoot called "Glee" Gone Wild

The raunchy cover shoot, which shows Lea Michelle in her underwear, is getting hit by critics as unnecessary and lacking in purpose as Jennfier Armstrong of Popwatch writes:

"[The cover spread] provokes me in all the wrong ways. This is hardly some little show dying for publicity (which would make this shoot at least an understandable, if not ideal, course of action) - and yet we have the leading ladies treating us to crotch shots and an explosion of cliched fetishism not seen outside the cheap Halloween costume aisles."

"Glee isn't exactly a wholesome family show as it is, what with its "Push It" covers and premature ejaculation storylines - it has no reason to get defensive."

Popwatch's main point is that Glee does not have to do the GQ shoot, to prove itself sexy. The cover shoot proves to be redundant as Glee have in its favor, past storyline on premature ejaculation and free discussion on teenage sex on the show.

It wasn't breaking any mold when three of its lead stars did the cover shoot for GQ. Afterall, Glee has been named the Worst TV show by the Parents Television Council who recently condemned Miley Cyrus new music video. But the difference with Glee and Miley Cyrus is the latter has clearly outgrown her Hanna Montana character, and is slowly distancing herself from the wholesome image. Glee, on the other hand, is hardly all that wholesome and it thrives in embracing sexual innuendoes in its episodes, as the Parents Television Council pointed out.

Glee creator Ryan Murphy succintly puts it, Glee is not a family show, but his own version of the family show, though Glee folks try to be responsible as youngsters are ALSO watching.
