the real truth is the writers don't really care one way or another about how their show affects anyone, all they want is lots of angsty kids watching it along with their parents, it's why it has a comedic value. the premise is this; make them laugh and they'll like any old shite you push in front of them, and to some extent it works. while some even many may question certaian aspects of the show they still carry on watching it. forgetting the glitter thing, and the no bisexuality message thing. fuck the audience, well just do a couple of beiber numbers and the masses will shut the fucjk up, and they do. half the time the people that complain are the people who catch an odd episode because they've had a day of work, they think...wtf is this crap, why are they playing glitter shit, they write in and it gets media attention.
did you jack, or you addy, ever write to the show or the media and voice your opinions? and if you did how many did the same? too few for it to make a difference. just enough to get free publicity. in the main all the kids that watch it are thinking "who the fuck is gary glitter, the other half are thinking "why do i like girls and boys"
the parents who watch agree that bisexuality isn't an issue in their households and remember gary glitter with affection, because they never once in their lives read a newspaper, or watched anything on the tv that even slightly resembled a news broadcast about some over aged over the hill neurotic jumpeded glam rock has-been who likes getting it on with kids. ther's a reason it's called light entertainment...it really does carry no weight content wise, to think it is is to bestow more value on it than it deserves.
if they really want current affairs for their/your kids and youselves, watch current affair programs like the Doha talks, question time
60 minutes, there's a lot of such stuff out there, make sure that for every hour of crap they watch, they watch 30 mins of serious shit.
blaming the light entertainment industry for me is a partial if not total cop out. if you don't feel the program is light entertainment and is teaching people bad things: complain to the right people about it, and most of all stop watching the shit, stop your kids watching the shit. as parents which i know non of you two are, you/we have to reclaim to souls of our kids back stop them playing 16 hours on a vid game, stop them hanging round street corners begging for booze to the early hours of the morning, stop them watching too much shit or at least explain to them why it is shit. take them to gay rallies, war marches, protest marches, civil rights marches, show them that some people care, show them that some don't and just like to cause trouble, they'll find going to a civil rights rally or an gay and anti gay march much more instructional. just make sure you do it when glee is on the box.
rant over. sorry guys
