Glenn Beck watches Glee in horror!

Huffingtonpost.com:

Glenn Beck set his sights on a new target on his Thursday show: “Glee.”

Speaking before a live studio audience, Beck said that “our whole culture is set up right now for you and the values we grew up with to lose.” He used “Glee” as an example.

“I’ve watched it in stunned horror combined with a sense of admiring awe,” he said. “It is a brilliant brilliant show…but it is a horror show…everybody in here is somebody your kids would want to be like, except everyone is sleeping with everyone else, it’s all about self-gratification…it’s a nightmare.”

However, he said the skill with which the show was made meant that “there is no way to beat this.

 

 

Is Glenn Beck nuts?  Glee is probably one of the most redeeming show there is about young people.  Is Beck naive?   He admits to watching 2 of the shows.  He needs to watch more before commenting.  In the first place, all the Glee kids aren’t beautiful.  They are talented.  Each person represents a demographic of typical high school.  Is there hyberpole?  Yes.  Perhaps the most exaggerated character is Sue Sylvester who is just meaner than a rattle snake.  We have all worked with such people–the person at work who is always trying to ‘get’ someone.

I have never watched Glee that it didn’t teach a strong lesson.   We aren’t going to learn lessons in shows like Pollyanna.  Glee is contemporary and explores current topics.  Beck really needs to get a life.  There is so much worse on TV that has half the talent.  He would bitch and cry if it starred Mother Teresa. 

Tornadoes–nearly 300 killed

A recent spate of tornadoes  has left more than 280 people dead, 5 of them in southwest Virginia.  50 Virginians were injured.  The governor has declared a state of emergency.  This move will allow Virginia agencies to assist local governments with clean up. 

According to the Washington Post:

Tornado warnings were issued across the D.C. suburbs early Thursday morning. Fast-moving bands of storms packed high winds and torrential rains. A funnel cloud formed over Point of Rocks in Frederick County shortly before 7 a.m., according to the National Weather Service, but there were no reports of tornadoes touching down in the immediate area Thursday morning.

There were widespread reports of damaged trees, including one that fell across Route 109 in Barnesville and another that landed on an electric line in Middleburg, according to the Weather Service.
