GQ magazine's sexy "Glee" cover has gone too far, according to the Parents Television Council.In a statement released Wednesday, the group slammed the November issue for its cover featuring Cory Monteith, 28, and a scantily clad Dianna Agron and Lea Michelle, both 24, -- all of whom play teenagers on the hit Fox TV show.“It is disturbing that GQ, which is explicitly written for adult men, is sexualizing the actresses who play high school-aged characters on 'Glee' in this way. It borders on pedophilia," the statement read."By authorizing this kind of near-pornographic display, the creators of the program have established their intentions on the show’s direction," the statement concluded. "And it isn't good for families."GQ Editor-in-Chief Jim Nelson fired back, releasing the following statement to UsMagazine.com Wednesday afternoon: “The Parents Television Council must not be watching much TV these days and should learn to divide reality from fantasy. As often happens in Hollywood, these ‘kids’ are in their 20s. Cory Montieth's almost 30! I think they're old enough to do what they want.”
