Alright, here comes a rant about Glee.
I'll begin by saying I don't hate the show, in fact, I never will touch it or watch it, so I really have no opinion about it in any matter.
HOWEVER, I do have an opinion about one of the actors.
I reside in Santa Ana, California, and I go to OCHSA, if any of you know what school that is. I go there because of the excellent philosophical atmosphere they have - the idea of accepting for who they are, for their talents, for their looks, and the idea of promoting art over academics and recognizing the importance of it.
The school needs testing to get in - you test into a certain conservatory, such as Music and Theater, Visual Arts, Production and Design, Creative Writing (which I am in) and many more. We usually get a decent amount of applications each year - true applications with people actually enjoying the arts they are applying for.
There are quite some famous people that graduated from this school, one of them being Matthew Morrison. Now, I don't know who he plays in the show, but all I know is that its big enough so that when he comes to visit my school, there is a crowd of screaming fangirls and parading people.
And now, our school gets over one thousand applicants.
And why? Because Morrison came here.
Year after year, I am seeing the decline of appreciation for the arts - people either come here because their friends are here, and now, Morrison? I've asked people, I know.
/end rant.
