Vogue!

Surely I'm not the only one who thinks that Glee is stupid and unrealistic - particularly the section with Vogue.com. As one of the most iconic international fashion publications of all time getting a job here must be practically impossible.

So for an inexperienced high school grad with no real work experience in the fashion industry it'll be easy to get a job right? Not only that but as a newly hired, inexperienced intern your boss will take inspiration and advice from you? Unlikely.

This plot turn is totally unrealistic. It would have been so much better and far more plausible had Kurt been hired to work for an independent publication in New York, and I am sure there are thousands of them, but this is sheer nonsense.

It leaves the youth of today with the illusion that all you need is a plucky spirit and you'll get in anywhere: a job at Vogue, a second chance audition for NYADA and not to mention what seems to be an impossibly expensive apartment in New York City on a student budget? Glee appears to singlehandedly feed the youth of today this false illusion of what life is like in the real world and this is potentially very damaging.

Not to mention that as soon as Kurt gets into NYADA there is suddenly no mention of Vogue in recent episodes.
