In defense of Glee

  • <benglert> lauren: glad you're enjoying glee
  • < benglert> do you now see how it is about life?
  • < lauren> unrealistic life
  • < benglert> lies
  • < lauren> but at least it's not like other musical shows where people just burst out into song all the time
  • < benglert> there's nothing ironic about showchoir
  • < lauren> well, nobody at my high school ever got drinks thrown in their faces
  • < benglert> sigh
  • < benglert> so cynical and realistic
  • < benglert> then i will just say that glee is about life as i experience it
  • < benglert> you get metaphorical drinks thrown in your face all the time
  • < benglert> don't knock the show for being representational rather than presentational
  • < lauren> okay fair
