Actors. Actresses. Musicians. Professional athletes. These are the people your kids look up. So much so that businesses are willing to pay them millions of dollars to endorse their products. (see Hollywood Pushes Immorality, Violence and Gun Control; Demand a Plan? Demand Celebrities Go ...).
What would happen if the porn industry decided to hire top celebrities to advertise their products? Pornography is already one of the largest segments of the Internet (see: Covenant Eyes: Porn Stats). What would happen, if say, major celebrities started to appear in hard core porn movies? Would that increase the number of men (and women and children!) who start clicking on porn sites and watching X-rated movies? Or would people say, "We will accept Miley Cyrus' twerking, but that is as far as we want to go?"
Here is an experiment that I really don't want anyone to perform: Turn on your computer. Go to www.googleimages.com. Now type in the name of your favorite pop star followed by the word porn. You can start with the following names: The Olson Twins, Jennifer Aniston, Lisa Kudrow, Britney Spears, Miley Cyrus, Madonna, & Drew Barrymore).
The world says:
"It seams so obvious: if we invent a machine, the first thing we are going to do - after making a profit - is use it to watch porn." - Damon Brown, Playboy's Best Covers
The Bible says:
"There is no fear of God before their eyes." - Romans 3:18
"I will set no wicked thing before my eyes." - Psalms 101:3
