AMAZING! I can't wait for it to come out. I wish there are also more videos released from the interview.

ETA: Chris Colfer among that entire group of comedy actors, and he is the youngest. I just, how do you deal with that in your life? To be nominated in the same category as Barney Stinson or Jay, or the ever popular Joel McHale. I am glad to see it, but also blown away by it.

This is the Klaine (aka Kurt+Blaine) skit that is on the Glee Live tour right now. My fav part of this entire vid is the fact that Darren Criss touches Chris Colfer's shoulder before exiting the stage.

Darren Criss and Chris Colfer have this tiny inside joke/rivalry going on, where Chris Colfer tries to surprise Darren Criss with his script every night. The script changes from city to city, in an attempt to crack Darren Criss up. Prior to arriving in Michigan, they were in Toronto, and that was where the most risque script was presented. Chris Colfer, on four different occasions, told Darren that Toronto was going to be the name of Blaine and Kurt's first child, that Ontario was his exotic dancer name, that Canada is the Dalton Academy of the world, and that he has a deep proposal for Blaine. Chris also managed to sneak up on Darren last night, which prompted Darren to call Chris by his name rather than calling him Kurt in front of the entire audience.

So the touch of the shoulder is a concession to all the progress that Chris has made in his attempts to crack Darren up, since Darren has generally left Chris alone on stage while he exits the stage. Fans have questioned that move before, since it would be logical to help your cast mate off the floor, and concluded that it must be an inside joke among the cast, which is further confirmed by Chris' tweet.

Yeah, so watching Glee Live has been fun, and I am kind of sad that I won't be watching it live this year, because I bet next year there wouldn't be as much focus or leeway give to Darren Criss. Also, Single Ladies is in this year, which is awesome. This year's Glee Live is also the most diverse in solos, giving the spotlight to every cast member.

Okay, here ends my rambly post about Glee Live.

The onus of rape prevention has always been on women. Young girls are told to dress and behave conservatively and not to draw attention to themselves unnecessarily to avoid being raped and this is no less true of the in-school curriculum for youths. - Esther Tung and Navneet Hans
From Sports Leader USA, Joe Ehrmann says, “Violence against women is often thought of as a women’s issue; but it is a mistake to call men’s violence a women’s issue. Since men are overwhelmingly the perpetrators of this violence, this men’s issue calls into question the cultural values that produce men who hurt women.”
But your actions did encourage people to mock and disbelieve rape survivors. You encouraged people to joke about rape, about the concerns of people who have been raped and people fighting to end it. You belittled people who are damn tired of rape being treated as nothing but a joke. - Jim Hines
