UPDATE: You can read Dianna Agron's response to the controversy here.

Two of Glee’s leading ladies, Lea Michele and Dianna Agron, struck sexy poses in tiny clothing in the newest issue of GQ, delighting men and angering parents everywhere. The Parents Television Council has seen the photos, and they’re reacting … badly.

In a statement, the Council wanted to clearly denounce “the makes of the TV show Glee for a hyper-sexualized GQ photo shoot that will be featured in the November issue.” The language of that comment is sure to send a flurry of people to the newsstands to get a copy.

The president of the council thinks it is “disturbing that GQ, which is explicity written for adult men, is sexualizing the actresses who play high school-aged characters on Glee in this way.” That, we admit, occurred to us as well. The president added that it “borders on pedophilia,” which is a little strong. Michele and Agron, both 24, have worn almost as little clothing on the red carpet ... and haven’t seen the inside of an actual high school in years.

GQ fired back with a statement of their own. “As often happens in Hollywood, these ‘kids’ are in their twenties …  think they’re old enough to do what they want."
