NEW YORK - Pornographic movies now seem nearly as pervasive in America's hotel rooms as tiny shampoo bottles, and the lodging industry shows little concern as conservative activists rev up a protest campaign aimed at triggering a federal crackdown.
A coalition of 13 conservative groups — including the Family Research Council and Concerned Women for America — took out full-page ads in some editions of USA Today earlier this month urging the Justice Department and FBI to investigate whether some of the pay-per-view movies widely available in hotels violate federal and state obscenity laws.
The coalition also is trying to draw attention to CleanHotels.com, a directory of hotels and motels nationwide that pledge to exclude adult offerings from their in-room entertainment service.

Just remember that you aren't the only one using that room, that bed, that table, that toilet, that sink, that shower/bath...
And then there are the sex hotels with hot tubs in the rooms....
Exactly, adults can choose to harm themselves all they want and as long as they don't harm others against thier will. If a chick wants to get rich selling her fanny, fine she'll probably end up spending the money on rehab and shrinks later on anyway.
I wonder if you're being intentionally obtuse or really can't distinguish between watching porn or making love to your spouse.
Shalom.
What? They do? Uh, in that case, it's an abomination, and should be banned immediately. Fines should be levvied against anyone who watches it. Those who make, produce, or distribute it should be put to ths sword. The sword, you hear me?!
(Thanks for the heads up on that. Boy, am I embarassed! I had no idea.)
You got that right. Conservative groups should spend their time on really important issues rather than acting like whacked out morality police. Acting nutty just reinforces the perception that all conservatives are extremists.
You BET I'm with you. 100%.
That is, unless you want to take out a full page ad in USA Today. Those suckers are expensive.
Shalom.
I wonder if you're being intentionally obtuse or really can't distinguish between the points being made.
It was boringly predictable that you would try to make the connection something that it wasn't because your point was destroyed.
I don't know what the population would be, but it would certainly cut back on the number of ugly people having kids. ;-)
(Ugly people with some degree of shame, that is. It's not gonna stop all of us.)

You analysis is dead on.
What, now that activity makes you go blind *and* deaf? ;-)
Where in the bible does it say I can't fire off a few Knuckle Children in the privacy of my neighbor's home because I can't afford a DVD player??!!
We had hard-core porn available in our hotel room without ordering it, and boy was I surprised while flipping the channels. So I went down to the front desk and asked to have it removed. The clerk told me it came with the broadband subscription and they had to take special action to remove it... and they did.
I requested broadband the next time we stayed at the same hotel and specifically requested the hard-core porn channel to be removed. I was satisfied when the clerk said she would take care of it... but she didn't. While flipping channels our two young boys were introduced, albeit quite briefly, to close-up hard-core porn in our hotel room. Talk about getting miffed...The clerk saw me coming and took care of it before I hit the front of the line.
So hard-core porn is available for free (when you order broadband) in at least one hotel chain.
I submit the following list of movies that should be banned in hotel rooms:
Anything with Meg Ryan, including but not limited to, When Harry Met Sally, You've Got Mail, and Kate & Leopold (especially KATE & LEOPOLD!).
The Wedding Crashers
Beast Master
Anything with the word "vacation" in the title, including all Chevy Chase movies.
"What, now that activity makes you go blind *and* deaf? ;-)"
I'll get back to you on that. I have to shave my hands again....
Those places, "Sybaris" here, better come with three taps:
1. Hot
2. Cold
3. Bleach
