The Girls Next Door

This show does nothing for the socialization of girls but make them think that being blonde stupid is what is socially acceptable. I do admit, it is interesting because I have always been curious what the inside of the Playboy Mansion looks like and how life is there. Then again, who really cares how the girl friends of Hugh live and what they do from day to day. This show is negative for how people should look at women because it shows them as objects of some multi- millionaire who has made all of his money through the exploitation of women. 

The real question is that in a society that is supposed to be sensitive about race, class and gender how is a show like this able to be allowed to show on T.V? One would think that there isn't a demand for shows like this but apparently it seems that the old formula stands strong, SEX = MONEY! I feel that in our capitalistic society the ability of a show like this to survive is based on the demand of people in great enough numbers that it will turn a profit. It has nothing to do with the moral high ground that we constantly try to refer to when speaking about how things in America should be and then what they really are. What this show really does is take a very primitive human emotion and exploit it in order to make money. Women are not the only ones that should be upset about a show like this but everyone who has watched it is technically being exploited for the good of some rich guy who owns the T.V network!
