Watch DVD Lady Gaga Loves Glee!

Article by Eiffel Jie

Musical television program “Glee” has angered conservatives again with its latest episode, which deals with gay bullying and incorporates unconventional pop artist Lady Gaga’s song about embracing differences and diversity.　　”This is ['Glee' creator] Ryan Murphy’s latest depraved initiative to promote his gay agenda,” Media Research Center Vice President for Business and Culture Dan Gainor told ABCNews.com.　　The episode, which aired Tuesday, revisits the issue of gay bullying when openly gay student Kurt Hummel comes back to the school and faces his former bully, a closeted football player. He receives an apology and the show’s cast of glee club members sing Lady Gaga’s gay pride single, “Born This Way.”　　Calling the show’s high school “the gayest high school in the history of mankind,” Gainor added about the program, “This is clearly Ryan Murphy’s vision of what growing up should be, not most of America’s,” said Gainor. “It’s a high school most parents would not want to send their kids too.”　　Last month, comedienne Victoria Jackson slammed “Glee” for airing an episode of two young men engaging in a much-anticipated kiss.　　”And, besides shoving the gay thing down our throats, they made a mockery of Christians – again! I wonder what their agenda is? Hey, producers of ‘Glee’ — what’s your agenda? One-way tolerance?” Jackson wrote in a WorldNetDaily column.　　”Glee” creator Murphy has been open about the show’s unfavorable approach to the GOP. Last year, Murphy told TV Guide, “We’ve taken a couple jabs at the right wing this year. So what I want to do with this character is have someone who Christian kids and parents can recognize and say, ‘Oh, look — I’m represented there, too!’ If we’re trying to form a world of inclusiveness, we’ve got to include that point of view as well.”　　In February, comedienne Kathy Griffin guest starred on “Glee” as a Tea Party character inspired by former Alaska gov. Sarah Palin and Minnesota Rep. Michele Bachmann. A frequent critic of the Palin family, Griffin’s contribution was viewed by many as a means to mock conservatives, as she wore glasses and Palin’s trademark red outfit. A gay rights advocate, Griffin seemed to make fun of those who don’t support same sex marriage.”Well, boys shouldn’t do a duet,” Griffin’s character said. “The last thing we need to do is send a message to children that gay is okay. I am a politician and when I lost my last election — and there will be a recount — I didn’t go around singing about being a loser, I Twittered that Obama is a terrorist.”The Fox TV troupe also starts at No. 16 on the Hot 100 with “Get It Right” (151,000 downloads). The tracks mark the ensemble’s first recordings of songs written specifically for the series. With five other debuts, the “Glee” cast’s seven new Hot 100 entries sold a combined 712,000 downloads in the chart’s tracking week.　　’Glee’ Original Songs, Nate Dogg Debut on Digital Songs Chart　　Two other original “Glee” songs — the wry “Big Ass Heart” (10,000 downloads) and “Trouty Mouth” (7,000) — registered notable sales but fall short of denting this week’s Hot 100 and Digital Songs surveys.　　Rounding out the Hot 100′s top 10, Rihanna’s “S&M” (4-3) claims Airplay Gainer honors for a second consecutive week. The track jumps 8-5 on Radio Songs (93 million in audience, up 20%).　　Cee-Lo Green’s “F**k You (Forget You)” dips to No. 4 after four weeks at No. 2 and the Black Eyed Peas benefit from their appearance Thursday (March 17) on “American Idol,” as the song they performed, “Just Can’t Get Enough,” blasts 22-5 as the Hot 100′s Digital Gainer. The cut bounds 18-3 on Digital Songs (198,000, up 143%).　　P!nk’s “F**kin’ Perfect” descends 6-7 and Chris Brown’s “Look at Me Now,” featuring Lil Wayne and Busta Rhymes, leaps 12-8 to become Brown’s first Hot 100 top 10 since “Forever,” which peaked at No. 2 in August 2008 – six months prior to his assault on then-girlfriend Rihanna. “Look” is Brown’s 10th Hot 100 top 10; he logged his prior nine between 2005 and 2008.　　Bruno Mars’ “Grenade” diffuses 7-9 on the Hot 100 and Jeremih’s “Down on Me,” featuring 50 Cent, enters the top 10 (13-10). Jeremih previously ranked in the top tier with his debut smash “Birthday Sex” (No. 4 peak in June 2009).　　”Down” is 50 Cent’s lucky 13th Hot 100 top 10 and first since the No. 1 “Crack a Bottle” with Eminem and Dr. Dre in 2009.　　Also notably, teen internet sensation Rebecca Black enters the Hot 100 at No. 72 with “Friday.” The song bows on Digital Songs at No. 57 with 37,000 downloads sold.　　Rebecca Black’s First-Week Sales High, But Not in MillionsRadio, however, is so far largely avoiding playing Black’s widely-panned track. While morning drive programs are discussing (and, thus, adding to) the song’s buzz, it garnered just 12 plays in its entirety in the March 16-22 tracking week among the more than 1,200 stations monitored by BDS for the Radio Songs ranking.
