Ok, allow me a little bit of a rant here! This is a constant sore spot with me, but today I was in the local "Stuff"-Mart, and it really got under my skin! You can't even walk through the check-out line without getting slimed by all the filth!
As a rule, I don't go down the magazine aisle (Proverbs 4:14-15). I know what is there. Believers are commanded to be circumspect (Ephesians 5:15), so it's best that I just don't go down that aisle. But everybody has to go through the check-out aisle!
There, on every shelf are strange women (Proverbs 23:26-28), leering from the covers of the magazines (Proverbs 6:25) in various stages of undress (Proverbs 7:10), and the headlines scream with more impudence than Potiphar's wife (Genesis 39:7) with the titillating titles of the pornographic articles contained inside!
What can we do? Well, we can complain to the manager, but don't hold your breath for a whole lot of action. I'm not real fond of trying to bend pagans into outward conformity to our principles anyway. I don't remember the apostles calling for boycotts. What I try to do is to turn as many of the offending magazines backwards in the rack as I can while I am standing there. I try not to take the kids through the check-out line as much as possible. One thing that might be a solution is to check out through the alternate cash registers (such as the sporting goods section, lawn and garden section, customer service desk, etc.). As long as you don't have any "weighable produce" or just a huge buggy full of stuff it's usually not a problem, and you usually don't have to "run the gauntlet" of magazine racks to get to them.
Men, let's take the initiative for guarding our own eyes (Proverbs 4:25) and those of our wives and children.
