Rant: Glee-Hards
Erik Hedegaard wrote a piece on Glee for the April issue of Rolling Stone. In it, he asks some offside questions of the cast (“Do you pee in the shower?” etc.).

Not surprisingly, Glee-hards everywhere are accusing Hedegaard of being an asshole and a pervert.
I expected this reaction from them. Glee-hard, likeTwi-hard, is just a euphemism for psycho fan, and psycho fans are incapable of being objective. That’s what makes them psycho.
What I didn’t expect, however, was for journalists and bloggers to jump on the psycho fan bandwagon. Even my best friend, an anti-Gleeist, told me she “didn’t like” the writer. “He’s an asshole who thinks he can act like a stupid jackass and ask stupid jackass questions just ’cause he’s a Rolling Stone writer,” she said.
But isn’t that the point? It’s Rolling Stone Magazine, not Martha Stewart living. They aren’t supposed to be polite, or politically correct, or sensitive, or nice.
They are supposed to be rock & roll. They are supposed to be bad ass mother fuckers. They are supposed to make celebrities look like the douche bags they are.
That’s why we buy their magazine.
Which brings me to poor old Erik Hedegaard, the Glee-writer villified by psycho fans and journalists alike.
Hedegaard is notorious for getting dirt on celebrities–he’s the one that wrote the Tara Reid “Fuck me after a cheeseburger” article. He’s not as asshole or pervert, however. It’s his jobto write stories that sell magazines. If he didn’t push boundaries, he would be a writer for some obscure weekly in the middle of bum-fuck nowhere. Instead, he writes for Rolling Stone Magazine, a gig that most journalists would shit their pants for.
So stop hatin’, ya smug bitches
