The Girls Next Door – Next Door to What??

Any who has seen this show can attest to the complete absurdity of it. Entertainent? Yes. Anywhere close to reality? No. The problem is that many young girls are no doubt watching this show, and their views on relationships and what is acceptable and what is not can become skewed. For example, after watching this show young girls may want to imitate the look of Hef’s three girlfriends, Holly, Bridgette and Kendra. Their look is that of –pardon my French-whores. They never have any clothes on and are always doing something inappropriate.

As was aforementioned, the show focuses on Hefs three girlfriends. Herein lies another problem. Little kids watching the show may think that it is ok to have for than one significant other. They say Hef kissing many ladies and may start to think that that is ok. On the show, the girls always have to ask Hef before they can do anything, and they need his approval. This is another negative aspect that can affect the socialization of girls. Not only will young girls try to dress like the playmates, they may start to think that it is ok for many girls to share one man, and they might also think they need a mans approval before they do anything.

The fact is that even thought the show negatively impact the socialization of young girls, it will not be pulled from the air. The show brings in a lot of money and is already signed for a sixth season. It is the responsibility of the parents to control what their kids watch. That is why there are inventions such as the V-Chip. Any problems with the socialization of girls can be fixed by an observant and watchful parent.
