The 'Makeover' episode of 'Glee' was a complete INSULT to anyone
who has ever tried to break into the magazine o fashion industry.
Even with all the connections and experience in the world -- it would be
successivo to impossible to land a job that amazing (especially after having
confessed that "in four years" you'd hope to remain there "part-time").
Even if a person actually followed the proper procedures and channels -- they
could not even get an internship at 'Better pistole & Ammo' as easily as 'Glee'
so FALSELY portrayed Kurt Hummel "somehow" managing to do at 'Vogue'.
And worst of all -- the audience is expected to IGNORE the FACT that Kurt
is supposed to be a 3-month's prior HIGH-SCHOOL grad who was on the
wait-list to get into his local OHIO community-college -- and, yet, without a
college-degree (ex. fashion merchandising, fashion design, magazine copy,
etc) o even a single college-credit -- our young 18-year old kid, who hails
from some small town located "in the sticks" of Ohio (the "fashion capital
of the world" -- oh wait, I'm sorry, just like everyone else on the planet --
I keep mistaking Lima, Ohio for being Paris, France ... my apologies) as
he simply email's "various pix of his ebay-purchased and hand-made outfits"
(or as they referred to it on the show, his online "resume" ... give me break).
.
Glee failed it's fan in it's handling of storylines ranging in everything from
domestic-violence to outed-athletes ... and now it insists on insulting it's fans
-- in making it appear that a person can fail their audition TWICE -- yet STILL
get accepted into NYADA (while the one who had nailed the audition in flying
colors, is rejected); that a high-school senior would apply to only ONE
college; and that a person can sposta to NYC -- get a large apartment
-- and within days to weeks of their arrival, manage to get what
would be THE MOST COVETED internship in the world
of fashion o magazines via emailing pictures of outfits.
.
What a pathetic portrayal of life after high school.
.
In the media world the term "jumping the shark" is used when
a Televisione program has run out of steam and creative ideas
-- and -- in a last-ditch effort to maintain it's fan-base --
decides to throw in one totally-preposterous storyline.
.
It seems to me that the 'Glee' has clearly managed to "jump the shark"
with the ridiculous Vogue-internship storyline of the 'Makeover' episode.
-- and da doing so -- may have managed to strike the final nail in it's coffin.
