Random Pic: Jollibee in Glee? (Updated)

So it seems Jollibee made an appearance in Glee, according to a screenshot making the online rounds.
Update: Reader “Joey Smallwood” says: “It’s real. Artie was daydreaming about being able to dance as the entire episode revolved around dreams and aspirations. Funny that Jollibee was very prominent throughout most of this musical number although there isn’t a single one in Ohio, where Glee is supposed to take place. The closest would be over 500 miles to the east in New York City.” Thanks Joey!
Update 2: Now I’m hearing about people calling this JolliGlee. Huh?
Update 3: Of course, thanks to the magic of online video, you can watch Jollibee’s appearance here:
But is this for real? Isn’t the character with glasses (Artie?) supposed to be wheelchair-bound? Gleeks, feel free to enlighten us through the comments below. In any case, this kind of marketing—intentional or not—is much more effective than this so-called flash mob.

According to this blog: http://www.blog.crisendo.com/2010/05/jollibee-appear-on-glee/ , it’s supposed to be a dream sequence.
The scene was shot in Eagle Rock, LA, that same branch where an American girl tried out Jollibee and dissed it on her blog (what was her name again?) a few years back.

I giggled at this. The show is supposed to be in Ohio but there are no Jollibees in Ohio

It’s so real. My jaw dropped after seeing it in ETC. I even saw (and recognized) their menu located on top of the cashier/counter. The pics of the burgers where recognizable.
It was so cool!
Oh, by the way, it’s from the latest episode of Glee.
