"Glee&amp;#039;s executive producer Ryan Murphy has admitted that he has received &amp;quot;death threats&amp;quot; because of some of the content in the series. Murphy, who explained that Glee was originally intended as a 9pm show, explained that he has sometimes &amp;quot;screwed up in hindsight&amp;quot;. &amp;quot;90% of what the show has to say is so positive, I feel stupid and bad that the 10% would exclude a portion of the episode,&amp;quot; he told Deadline. &amp;quot;There are specific episodes where we did push it too far. &amp;quot;I think the condom demonstration was a road too far. I think showing a kid masturbating was a bridge too far. You know, when you&amp;#039;re creating a show you&amp;#039;re in the middle of it and then you hear the comments.&amp;quot; Murphy confirmed that he has had &amp;quot;death threats&amp;quot; but suggested that they are related to the show&amp;#039;s tolerant stance, saying: &amp;quot;I think anytime you shine a spotlight on homosexuality or minorities and you try and say they are as normal or as worthy of acceptance as others, the people who are on the fringe don&amp;#039;t like that and they will come after you. And they have come after me.&amp;quot; He continued: &amp;quot;I think it&amp;#039;s such a great show for young kids. The values of it, I think, are great. Can we tell the same exact stories without compromising and maybe not show a person masturbating so that an 8-year-old or 10-year-old can watch it? Yes. So we try and correct ourselves at times because we listen to the audience. That&amp;#039;s not to say that we don&amp;#039;t sort of go back to some things now and again. We do.&amp;quot; Glee will return for its third season on September 20 on Fox. &amp;gt; &amp;#039;Glee&amp;#039; to introduce new &amp;quot;mean girl&amp;quot; characters "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
