Take a look at this picture. An extremely sexy and scantily clad sexpot like Jessica Alba stands in front of a host of Catholic Hierarchy. These men have dedicated their lives to no more a nobler purpose than to be ambassadors of the Christ and to try and steer man in a righteous direction. Even as some try to remain ambivalent a few can't resist the temptation but to look. Even if the look does not appear to show interest nor disinterest.(images were photo shopped)
To me this is the perfect metaphor for Hollywood and the motion picture industry. As I have previously written Hollywood (studio execs) itself recognized the enormous responsibility it had in trying to put forth an entertaining product while adhering to the principles set forth by an emerging Christian nation. The Hays Code was to address this need. Of course all that one has to do is take a look at the code to see that Hollywood has fallen woefully short of living up to the code. In fact it has completely shredded it asunder.
It has become a run away locomotive spewing poisonous venom in every direction. Every "ism" in the English language paraded before the stalwarts of faith, spiritual awakenings, and reconciliation and yet there is no outcry. Just like the Catholic hierarchy in the picture above all but a few seem not to even notice.
