Urge Meijer to discontinue carrying the Playboy brand.

By: American Decency Staff

Meijer is a favorite shopping center of many in Michigan, Indiana, Illinois, Ohio, Kentucky and Pennsylvania.  Many have appreciated their responsiveness to expressions of concern as various issues have arisen. For example: years ago Meijer withdrew from the sales of Playboy magazine. In more recent years, Meijer withdrew from selling Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition. In addition, Meijer got out of the video rental business under significant public pressure for the rental of videos that were not family-values friendly! In recent days, it has been brought to our attention that Meijer sells Playboy logo deodorant. This is out of character for Meijer.  We would like to think that Meijer doesn’t want to be affiliated with one of the greatest degraders and destroyers of marriages in America. The pictures displayed are of deodorant on display and being sold at Meijer. “…The magazine’s revolution and objective was to get American boys and men to reject their parents’ morality and accept Playboy’s morality as their own.  Successful pursuit of that objective has been the stated purpose of Playboy resulting in nearly four decades of our current national epidemic of sexual disorders.  The success of Playboy’s revolution is evident in the increased number of cases of both old and new versions of sexual diseases.  Accordingly, Playboy morality deserves much credit for the spiraling rates of impotence, divorce, child abuse, and a host of other national sadosexual tragedies.  If today’s sexual trauma reflects the message and spirit of Playboy, the guru for that spirituality is Dr. Alfred C. Kinsey, along with his disciples Hugh Hefner and the professional spin-offs – sexologists, mass entertainment pornographers, and sex educators. …â€Â [Taken from Dr. Judith A.
