Why Nudity?

The latest Reebok add has a a totally nude model advertising jogging shoes. Did you ever run in the nude or watch a beautiful model run in the nude? What does this have to do with jogging? Movies also resort to gratuitous sex or strong sexual innuendo to draw movie goers. The whole PG-13 thing was R-rated a few years ago and is just another ploy to draw a segment of the population who regularly shunned R rated movies. I personally think it's manipulative and not creative. It's the marketing department or scene department (even screenplay) going on auto-pilot. In other words, "Let's throw a couple of sex or violent scenes in the movie because I am tired of thinking of other creative ways to enhance it."

I have this question: Does sex really sell or does it actually desensitize? The American public is inundated with sexual images. It's destroying us. Movies and advertisements are getting cruder and cruder to keep ahead of the desensitization factor. It's down right gross if you ask me. I do not go to movies with sexually explicit scenes or nudity; the advertisements around me are already bad enough. I feel nauseated by all the imagery. It troubles my spirit to no end.

The good thing that is happening, however, is this: Parents and society are mounting a growing campaign against all the smut. Non-Christian and Christian alike are looking for more wholesome things for their children and family. What made money before is slowly losing out to more wholesome entertainment. It's hitting them in the pocket book. Money, or the lack of it, speaks loudly to these greedy Hollywood producers and immoral marketing departments. Yes, you have the incredibly sick horror flicks and twisted comedy shows still being pumped out, but they, in the end, are working against themselves. People will eventually say enough! It's like eating cotton candy at a carnival--- it gets sickeningly sweet after awhile. The evil in advertisement and movies are slowly sickening people like non-nutritious cotton candy. It's time to spit it all out!!!

So whenever you see a big busted women selling termite treatment, or a voluptuous model promoting jogging shoes in the nude, just remember their days of manipulative advertising are numbered. That's my prayer and hope. "Lord, clean out our land for the sake of our keiki (children).
