Jacksonville takes stance against smut
 
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- Billboards around the city are urging people to stop looking at pornography in the name of love.


The messages showed on up on five of the daily billboards that are located all around Jacksonville.


The billboards have an anti-porn message -- "Her gift for Valentine's Day -- stop looking at porn. XXXChurch.com"


The message is expected to be on the billboard for Valentine's Day only.

A church is responsible for the billboards' message.


Instead of the chocolates, flowers, stuffed animals, cards or even dinner out on the town, the founder of the Web site XXXChurch.com Craig Gross said he had another idea.

The Web site is based out of Grand Rapids, Mich.

"It's just to tell guys, especially, not to have the make-believe relationships with porn stars, but to concentrate on their marriages and their relationships with their loves ones," Gross said.



He said porn is a serious problem that more than 40 million people struggle with everyday, and he wants people to kick the habit.

"Porn is everywhere. It is all over the Internet. There are some 400 million pornographic Web pages. We want people to talk about this issue," Gross said.

That's interesting. I spend a great deal of time looking at pornography but I'm far more deeply in love with my wife then most of the thumpers that I know.
