This is a follow-up blog from my post on September 28th, 2011.
Dare I say I'm proud of American families? Well, I'm certainly thankful to God for conviction He placed on the hearts of families that "play" together. And yes, by "play", I mean "watch t.v.".
The notice recently came out about NBC's TV show "The Playboy Club", being cut after just 3 episodes. According to Reuters, the Parents Television Council stated, "We're pleased that NBC will no longer be airing a program so inherently linked to a pornographic brand that denigrates and sexualizes women".
Here's the full article from Reuters: Parents Television Council Crows About 'Playboy Club' Cancellation
For the record, I'm no follower of the Parents Television Council, and so I don't promote their work in general. I appreciate what they've stood for in this instance, though.
Here's the call from Parents Television Council to its followers regarding 'The Playboy Club':
Stop NBC Airing [of] The Playboy Club
Most of television is driven by numbers, so we're told. I wouldn't disagree. But, I'm not naive enough to believe that God had no part in it. I'm also not naive enough to believe that Satan is no longer king of the earth. I am, however, gutsy enough to believe that people are still moved by the things that God cares about - whether they know this as the reason or not.
Inside each of us is a place where God, alone, can fit. And in this God-spot, there is a piece of His spirit infusing us with Him as we allow Him to do so. It's a spirit-transfusion, and it's constant. This is the place where the injustice of allowing degrading t.v. shows and abusive situations continue is questioned and is fired up. This is the place where, when we've located it within ourselves, we know that we can make decisions based on what we know to be true there.
There's a God-shaped hole in all of us
And the restless soul is searching
There's a God-shaped hole in all of us
And its a void only He can fill
-Plumb, God-Shaped Hole
