The first thing that comes to my mind after watching an episode of "The Girls Next Door" is that Hugh Hefner has got to be the luckiest guy in America. Besides living in this beautiful, grandiose, Los Angeles mansion and being worth tons of money, Hefner is blessed with having three gorgeous "girlfriends" at the same time. The trio of Holly, Kendra, and Bridget, who are the focus of the show, would make any straight man envious of Hefner. However, these three women are seen by some to have a negative impact on the socialization of younger girls.
Now, obviously I'm not a girl a cannot possibly talk empathetically about the effects this show potentially has on young girls. Yet, I am one who believes that this show, which sole purpose is entertainment and promotion of Playboy, probably should not be ridiculed the way it is. I do not see the negative aspects of the show that some do and do not think that the show is only good for corrupting young, female minds.
If the argument is, the girls on the show dress way too provocatively, it is because they are in Playboy magazine. Their talent is being hot and they're going to show off that talent. I feel younger girls will always be trying to imitate models, whether they see them on Girls Next Door or elsewhere. Should we ban the entire fashion industry as well?
Furthermore, young girls probably shouldn't be watching this show in the first place. The target audience for the show is young adult males who clearly are not watching the show for educational value.
