There’s a new TV show you may or may not be aware of, but I’d be willing to bet your teens know the exact time and channel to watch, not to mention episode “plots” and all the characters involved.
Girls Next Door, the first reality show to take viewers inside Hugh Hefner’s Playboy Mansion, is a big hit. Tag line: "We call it fantasy. They call it home."
Girls Next Door stars Holly Madison, who is—in real life—Hugh Hefner’s “#1”girlfriend. I say #1 because there are two others. (However, it should be noted that before Holly, there were seven girls gracing Hef’s bed. Seven girlfriends. Seven girlfriends and one old and rich playboy.)
Second in line is Bridget Marquardt who is no dummy. She has a B.A. in public relations, a Masters in communications and is currently working toward another Masters (this one in broadcast journalism.
Rounding out the Hefner Plaything Trio is Kendra Wilkinson. Kendra is 20 years of age to Hef’s 78.
If that isn’t enough to bother you…well, take a look at just one episode. See media’s newest way of telling women today that sex is free and fun and that being a boy toy is the most desirous goal in the world. The girls in the mansion are pampered and perky and—heaven help us—‘pert near perfect. One look at all this can give a girl such mixed signals.
Even a Christian girl.
And Then Jesus Said
In the 12th chapter of Matthew we read of a time when a demon-possessed man was brought to Jesus and then healed by the Great Physician. The people were amazed, saying, “Could this be the Son of David?” (Or, “Could this be the Messiah?”)
