After getting 33 million pageviews in a week for the nearly-nude pics, the magazine announces plans to release behind-the-scenes video from the shoot.

GQ's controversial nearly-nude pictorial of Glee stars Dianna Agron, Cory Monteith and Lea Michele is still delivering dividends for the magazine.
After its website received 33 million pageviews in just a week after posting the racy pics - which the Parents Television Council criticized as "bordering on pedophilia" -- the magazine has announced plans to release never-before-seen video footage from the shoot online. (The site, which launched a year ago, normally gets 2.5 million pageviews for its popular stories within a week; a topless pic of Miley Cyrus posted on Conde Nast-owned Vanity Fair in 2008 got 19 million pageviews in two days.)
“It’s going to be the gift that keeps on giving,” vp, publisher Peter King Hunsinger told Mediaweek Monday.
Mediaweek also points out that Marie Claire's website traffic spiked after one of its bloggers expressed her disgust at watching the stars of Mike & Molly make out, earning 2,724 comments. Read what the creator of the show had to say to THR.

I'm really, honestly not sure why I posted that.

Pedophilia?????? Who are these idiots at the Parent's Television Council? The girls are 24 frickin years old! Most Playboy models are done by 24.

These girls are long in the tooth and practically used up.

I like how her lipstick matches her shoes.

Gawd! What an ugly little girl, even if she is 24 or so.

GLEE is an abomination from the git-go. I mean, come on! Who among us and the people you know ever went to a high-school as depicted by GLEE (or even worse, High School Musical).

Girls like the one depicted were used up by the football team before the first semester was over, and if they weren't knocked up by then no one really wanted used goods in the first place. [Except the nerds, perhaps.]

High school was not a place to be noticed. Fragging in the hallways was the sport of the day. Hallways were the new Roman arenas, and the more blood spilt the more the student body hungered for more. You had to be as big as the front doors and twice as ugly to be left alone. Actually, these guys were lonely at all; everyone wanted to suck up to them for protection.

Footballers used to be the 'hood. Now there are a great many different hoods. High school is more like prison: you have to find your 'hood or you had better be very good at escape and evasion. Anyone galavanting around the halls, singing and dancing, would find themselves squashed into a garbage can.

There have been a few success stories in some high schools, and the movies made about these successes are good movies to watch if you are an insomniac. They will bore you to death.

Now we have to be mentally tortured by scenes of happy teens use burn off their raging hormones by singing and dancing while innocently playing at childish games of sex. I really don't know how the American teenage society is taking in this kind of mindless and pointless programming. But I expect that, when mom and dad aren't around, there are a lot of pants around the ankles when the girls are parading around and a huge desire to smack pansies around until there is not enough blood flowing in their bodies to make any more sport.

Not to mention the whole "school girl" schtick isn't something that's exactly new.

She's wearing shoes? I hadn't noticed...
