Barbara Walters doesn't really care. Babs took the laissez-faire position on the photos of "Glee" stars Lea Michele and Dianna Agron, about which the Parents Television Council has raised a ferocious stink. Walters notes that Agron and Michele are both in their mid-20s and that no one forced them into their provocative poses. "I just can't get that passionate about it," she says.
And, over the objections of her co-hosts who worry that younger kids will be scarred by the photos, Walters says (hilariously, to our ears) that if a kid is resourceful enough to get his hands on the magazine, "it's probably not the first" racy picture he's seen.
Sherri Shepherd and Elisabeth Hasselbeck are indignant. In addition to being convinced that the nation's 10- and 12-year-old boys are rushing to their local 7-Elevens to sneak a peek at Rachel and Quinn in skimpy clothes, Shepherd wonders about the ethics of people who are trying to make a buck of the images of actors from a popular show about teenagers. So is Hasselbeck, who figures GQ is only trying to sell magazines. Well, yeah.

Miley Cyrus' Father Supports GLEE's GQ Pictures
Miley Cyrus's father Billy Ray is reportedly 'disappointed' by the Parents Television Council's reaction to the recent racy photos of the Glee stars.
Billy is a member of the council who have criticised the saucy pictures of Lea Michele and Dianna Agron in GQ magazine.
But according to TMZ.com the 49-year-old is not in agreement with president Tim Winter's statement that the snaps are 'borderline pedophilia'.

A source told the entertainment website that the PTC 'has recently been spending all its time attacking people rather than promoting family television'.
The council even recently criticised his own daughter Miley, 17, about a video of hers.

Dianna Agron's Brother Says Criticism Of Mag Spread Is 'Outrageous'
The brother of sexy Glee star Dianna Agron has leapt to his sister's defense in the wake of the risqué GQ magazine shoot that some have labeled "near-pornographic."
"That's so outrageous," Jason Agron told RadarOnline.com in an exclusive interview.
"My sister has turned down a lot of roles because she does not want to be naked. I looked at the pictures in the magazine and they're not bad at all. I trust my sister and her judgment."
The 24-year-old Glee actress apologized on her blog for causing any offense, but stuck by her decision to pose provocatively for the GQ spread.
"My sister would never take inappropriate pictures," Jason, 22, told RadarOnline.com.
Agron, along with Glee-mates Lea Michele and Cory Monteith, shot a "provocative" photo spread for GQ magazine and are featured on its November cover.

The Parents Television Council has since raised concern, saying the photos "border pedophilia."
In a statement, the council blasted Glee producers for allowing the three to participate in a "hyper-sexualized" photo spread. They said "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," they said. "It borders on pedophilia."
