Brett Berk for Vanity Fair writes that the introduction of Derry-native Damian McGinty, who was the co-champion of ‘The Glee Project,’ allowed for writers on ‘Glee’ to “pound us on the nose with every winkingly ironic stereotype they can conjure.” Included, of course, for Rory are an abundance of green clothes, and rendition of the greenest of them all Kermit the Frog’s “Being Green.” References to U2 and Lucky Charms added to the piling of Irish associations.

Other sources are sounding off as well. Jen Cheney of the Washington Post notes how the concept of McGinty singing  “Being Green” was a little “forced.” She adds, “Would any young Irishman…allow himself to be consistently referred to as a leprechaun?”
