Why is MTV remaking The Rocky Horror Picture Show?

I'm gonna watch it (and it will actually be my first episode of Glee if I do), but they've de-gayed the whole thing, and I find it objectionable. Sure, Frank was often played by women by fans, but it's VITAL to the role that the part be played by a man. Not so in Glee. Oh, and apparently Eddie can't be sexy if he's not super-slim. And Rocky can't go shirtless because WTF? Why? The sample of music I heard (The Time Warp) was bland and boring. I was intrigued by this, and will likely still watch it, but LAME.

So, yeah, I hope the film remake project remains on the shelf indefinitely.

I say skip Glee. Grab the original on blu-ray, slip into something uncomfortable, make some toast and watch it with a few friends.
