So the Sunny D example (see Love Letter #4:Love never fails) was precisely to get us thinking about what it means for us to tell a real from a fake. The girls in the video (also Love Letter #4) are victims of domestic sex trafficking, more commonly known as prostitution. So what does that have to do, you may say, with Sunny D and o.j.? Many of the young girls are lured into the sex trade by promises of 'love' and affection. They are fed a steady diet of counterfeit security, and then are forced; by fear, or by manipulation to sell their bodies for sex-- and many have had few examples of genuine love. Despite being arrested, raped, and beaten, some still think that their pimp is their boyfriend, that they are loved-- that the Sunny D, really is orange juice.
