I am over the Glee Fiasco

I am a true supported of the arts. I love, love, love music. I initially loved the idea of Glee... I felt it was this generations, Kids Incorporated. You remember! I know you are singing the theme song... However after the Christmas special I was left shaking my head and wondering what the writers were thinking.

If you haven't seen Glee... DON'T CONTINUE READING! IT WILL SPOIL IT!

The entire episode wraps up in a soup kitchen with the kids deciding they made a mistake by not helping out when they were asked to...

Then they begin handing out spaghetti dinners...

And singing.

Here is where it went wrong... They began to sing, "Do they know it's Christmas." I think the song is an amazingly beautiful one. The message is gorgeous. I love it. The problem I have is with the venue. I was raised rather poor. I remember food pantries and angel trees and what not. I can tell you the last thing I want to think about while eating a free meal because my family is struggling... is that song. It's depressing. I would want my kids to forget about where they are... have fun... lighthearted... you know? Out of everything they had in their repertoire... they chose that one? Ugh.
