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.

What next? Banning cigarettes from restraurants, private businesses and federal buildings?
So, what's it to ya?
They should hook-up with the anti-Walmart crowd.
No, I'm not Ron Jeremy, but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night . . . .
Let me get this straight: they were so shocked that they watched 10 hours as a research project? You have to wonder what their findings were.
Why would anyone not want it?
You can't have it both ways, either we parent our kids the way we want or we give up our rights and let the government do it. I'll choose the first option thank you very much. If you aren't infringing on someone else's life, liberty, or property rights then the govt. has no business interfering in your private life. This is just a distraction, they should be lobbying the govt. to solve the social security problem, defend our natural borders, stop wasting money, etc. This is a useless waste of time and anyone who supports it is wasting tax money, time and is a complete and utter fool.
If you have young people renting rooms, it's a good bet they won't be watching the porn, they'll be doing it.
"While I agree with you where adults are concerned, unfortunately young people can rent a room and watch it, and that is the biggest problem that I can see."
You can't rent a room on your own until a certain age. And by that age you're old enough see porn if you want.
Dude, ... sarcasm.
I'm sorry, I didn't mean to insult you personally.
All things considered I'd rather live in a nation of moral people who don't have to be ashamed of what they do when nobody's looking.
Whether they are just willing to admint "I was watching 'Debbie Does Dallas' in my hotel room last night" or don't whatch what they won't tell - it makes little difference. The lack of honesty is a real character issue.
Shalom.
"Might want to throw that comforter on the floor when you stay at one of those hotels."
Pssst, he whispered. People have sex in hotels that don't carry porn AND they have sex wihtout watching porn in the ones that do have it.
No because you aren't mutilating the body of a human baby and sucking the bloody pieces of muscle, bone and skin out of the womb.
Nobody has to die for porn to be watched, but somebody's life must be destroyed to have an abortion.
Geez. Just don't order the damned things if you don't want to view them. It's not like they're on when you turn on the set.
I wonder how much money these would make if the name would appear on your bill.
Doesn't have to. I used to audit expense accounts coming in from sales people. The adult movies were always more than the regular movies so the company made it known that premium priced movies would not be reimbursed.
They offer abortions in hotels now?
Other than that, you almost made sense.
They show the same thing on CSI all the time. I started calling the show cum scene investigators.
Nanny-stater ping.
But do they have sex under the sheets? Does the lonely business traveller sit on the bed and stroke or go under the covers?
Actually, for porn to be watched it has to be produced. Those involved in the production are harmed, whether they know it or not.
However, they are adults and make the choice to harm themselves. The child in an abortion makes no choice.
That's the key difference.
Shalom.
