Whether it is the Super Bowl, the Playboy Mansion, or Blackberry Farm,  presenting women as objects, reducing their whole person to body parts for male stimulation and pleasure is still porn and it’s still wrong.

Some local news outlets applauded the prestigious Blackberry Farm for receiving yet  “another accolade”  for excellence because they provided the backdrop for the latest Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition.  On the contrary, it seems they have cheapened their reputation by being an upscale Hooters.  For an organization dedicated to the highest quality possible, they have dropped their standards to such a degree that I have to wonder, is the publicity worth it? No wait, is the degradation of women worth it? Evidently, sadly, yes.

Men behaving badly is the same regardless of your locale.  This is so painfully obvious that it is near ridiculous to even have to write it out in black and white.

Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition is not art. It’s not benign. It’s not harmless.  Neither is sex trafficking, or adultery, or porn addiction.

It kills women, children and men. It breaks marriages and lives apart.

For what? An orgasm.  Are you kidding me?

Men, instead of congratulating the business opportunity, look at the product. Not her boobs or her ass, but look at the product you are selling and who is buying it. You are a willing participant in what God says turns you into a loaf of bread.

Do not lust in your heart after her beauty or let her captivate you with her eyes, for the prostitute reduces you to a loaf of bread, and the adultress preys on your very life.  Proverbs 6: 25

Here is a test. Try to capture your wife’s expression as you look at  Sports Illustrated’s latest bombshell. It’s not benign. It’s not harmless.

This “boys will be boys” crap has got to stop. You were made for so much more.  And so is she.

I don’t care if she’s tied to a bed in India  or posing on the opulent grounds of Blackberry Farm. It is still porn. It’s still trafficking. It’s still killing us all.

Stop it. In the name of Jesus, stop this sex driven madness.
