"Porn-Free" Hotel Directory - Thank you, Fundies!

[siliconefreak]

The fundies have opened a new website to help this country get back to its Puritanical roots:

http://www.cleanhotels.com

Here's part of what they have to say about it:

"Because pornography is an addictive, consuming substance, many individuals, whose curiosity tempts them to view a pornographic movie in the privacy of their hotel room, become "hooked" on pornography. An escalating cycle of pornography use begins and that cycle can result in the disruption of every aspect of the user's life, including family and career.

It is not unheard of for families to report that children turn on a hotel TV and find a previously ordered hard core pornographic movie in progress. The images planted on a child's mind through that one brief encounter can be troubling for many years.

Further, hotels pandering pornographic movies can create a hostile and potentially dangerous environment for women traveling alone or with children."

1. hey!

It is not unheard of for families to report that children turn on a hotel TV and find a previously ordered hard core pornographic movie in progress.


Why has this never happend to me?

[ComerPerro]

5. Yeah no kidding!

[MercutioATC]

2. So homosexuality is a choice but porn viewing is an addiction?

:eyes:

[ComerPerro]

8. LOL. Great point

Wow.


Damn.

[triguy46]

44. You score a 10 for this

[mr_hat]

3. I dunno. Semen-stain free sheets have a certain appeal...

[skypilot]

4. That does it!!

I demand a Gideon Bible-free hotel directory!!!

[Coexist]

33. can we put Just A Theory stickers on the bibles?

[skypilot]

36. Or we could really screw with them...

...and replace it with Darwin's Theory of Evolution.

[Coexist]

37. Can you imagine - critical thinking happening at Motel 6

oh, the humanity

[skypilot]

40. They won't get much critical thinking done...

...after their heads explode.:nuke:

[Coexist]

41. would that be from reading something scientific and fact-based

or not getting their porn?!

[skypilot]

42. Yes.

:)

[Coexist]

43. happy Friday to you too!

:::::::chuckling::::::::

[skypilot]

45. Happy Friday!!!!

I'm keeping my fingers crossed though. It's Friday the 13th and I've already spilled a cup of coffee on a bunch of books. With any luck, that will be the low point of my day.

[MindPilot]

6. Does that bible in the nightstand

have Ezekiel 23 removed?

[stevedeshazer]

18. Ezekiel 23

Snuff porn. Good point.

[AllegroRondo]

7. My brother worked for a hotel

he said the biggest sales of x-rated movies came during the annual Baptists convention.

[Occulus]

12. even they have to research their cause

and if they get a little fun out of their research, well, that's an unexpected side benefit. ;)

[mongo]

47. I get fundies who come into the store to buy movies for the sole purpose

of watching them to report them to http:\\www.obscenitycrimes.org

You can tell when a timid, conservative looking/dressed couple comes in, spends an hour looking at all 1700 titles, confering with each other in a whisper, and walk out with the three nastiest looking movies in my inventory. Their body language gives them away every time.

Hope they get their jollies too...

[hobbit709]

9. All the ones listed

here in Austin not only don't have porn but no other type of pay per view available either.

[siliconefreak]

10. one benefit

I just realized one benefit to their site: Now I know where I WON'T stay! ;-)

[graywarrior]

11. Ha ha ha ha ha ha

I used to manage a lot of motels. Some of which they list, I question.

[natrat]

13. ya know what-i could do without it too ,but

unfortunatly these cockroaches are starting here and want to assault freedom of speech so it's a bargain i accept

and everyone knows having a gun more important than free speach

[sui generis]

14. scary alert run fear evil bad aiaiaiiaiaiiaeeeeeeeeee!

can't they ever do anything without invoking fear? They are so absurd and pathetic.

[MindPilot]

15. Check the picture on the linked site

forget that soft-core hotel porn, the whole family--including the dog--can gather 'round the laptop and download good holesome hard core Internets porn!!

[tanyev]

16. I have the ability to stay at a hotel that offers porn

and choose not to watch it. Something the fundies are apparently incapable of doing.

[MindPilot]

19. Don't know 'bout you, but every hotel I've ever been in

has a parental blocking option for all pay per view -- not just the adult stuff. Maybe you don't want the kids spending 50 bucks a day watching Diney movies either.

[MindPilot]

20. self delete -- accidental double post

[sam sarrha]

17. the pron is always optional.. i paid for it and the wife found it while

surfing the channels for QVC... she watched it for quite a while, I was in the bath room taking a shower.. as i came out she said "look what I found".. she is so gullable..

I just sat down and said.."Wow we don't get this channel on our cable.." It worked out a lot better than i had planned..

[mongo]

46. LOL!

You crafty devil!

[siliconefreak]

21. boycott Best Western

I just read that Best Western has caved in to the religious right and prohibits any of their hotels "from offering any entertainment that’s classified as adult, pornographic or obscene."

Guess I won't be staying at the Best Western anymore. :D

[progressivebydesign]

22. If they can't keep it in their pants, that's their problem.

WTF is wrong with those people? They happen to be the skankiest, kinkiest, and sleaziest, of all people. when they fall, they fall hard... so far from grace it's unimaginable. I sometimes think that the most fucked up people are attracted to that type of religion because they can't control themselves.

[Mist]

23. That's just it - the world is full of temptation, so shut down everything

that tempts them.(Whatsa matter? Isn't their faith strong enough to overcome temptation?) My first thought on reading the post was "Well, now the fundies themselves know which motels to avoid, since they're major consumers of porn."

[unblock]

25. ding ding ding ding ding!

we have a winner!

of course, there are many reasons for being religious, many of the sincere. but, you are correct, there are certainly those who are religious, usually overtly religious, who need it to cover, rationalize, justify, excuse, absolve, or otherwise let them be comfortable with their ongoing, habitual, uncontrollable immoral and/or unethical behaviors.

i call them 'proclaimers', those who seem to shout about their religion rather than letting it actually make them better people.

[Jose Diablo]

24. An anecdotal experience

I once worked with a honest to goodness, very religious wack job.

Our jobs required us to travel, so often times would find us holed-up in one hotel or another. Each hotel would offer these pay per view movies.

Well, he decided to watch one and was so distressed at having to actually witness a bare breast, right on his TV screen that he immediately called the front desk and complained. Told them that if they did not straighten this matter out that night, well they could kiss his business goodbye. So the management of that hotel took that movie off the list of ones that could be viewed.

The next morning at breakfast he told me of his success at reforming the world, very proud of himself. I thought to myself, dang I wanted to view that movie for myself but chose another last night hoping to view that one tonight. Kinda Po'd me, but I kept my tongue, why cause a fuss?

You know, he was a very 'righteous' man. Strange thing though that his sense of right and wrong did not extend to include the idea that it was wrong to take other peoples ideas and call them his own, he was notorious for claiming others work as his own to the boss.

I'm sure the boss and him get along beautifully now as both of them are 2 peas in a pod.

Glad to be gone from the presence of them 2 people.

[JHB]

26. "2 peas in a pod"...

...so...you could say they were "pod people", right?

:evilgrin:

[Jose Diablo]

31. Have no idea what they are

certainly not part of any country I am familiar with. Maybe they were hatched from eggs. I've heard that lack of motherly companionship at critical times as infants can produce the effects of not possessing a 'human spirit'. It's a theory.

[JHB]

34. Yup. Pod People.

[siliconefreak]

27. Hooters Air

I'd love to see how he would handle a flight on Hooters Air. :D

[Jose Diablo]

29. I like "Hooters", the owl motif is very original

and the scenery, well it's hard to improve that. However, I'm sort of the kind of guy that likes it with a little less noise, being somewhat older. But in my youth, the louder the song the better. They made a killer hamburger too.

Never flown the airline though. I've always wanted to join the "Mile High" club. But I doubt that would be arraigned as part of the flight package, you know, included in the price of the ticket.

[JHB]

28. Now, now...

...as ridiculous as their claims are, this solution seems fine to me. If a complete lack of PPV porn is that important to them, then let them use it as a search option.

We can just break out the popcorn and watch as they try to get any movie they don't want to be caught watching reclassified as "porn".

[LynneSin]

30. I looked at the list of Philly hotels...

not too many hotels where I would stay at anyways and in fact many of these chain hotels simply never bothered to offer PPV channels.

Going beyond that, what I don't understand is what the fuss about this? I'm a single woman and I've stayed in plenty of hotels with PPV-porn and never once did I feel threatened by other guests in the hotel.

[sexybomber]

32. Interesting...

"pornography is an addictive, consuming substance"

What, like crack?

[siliconefreak]

35. yup

Here's a recent statement that Sam Brownback (R-Kansas) made about adult entertainment:

"Porn has grown much more potent, much more addictive, much more pervasive, much more impactful..."

Impactful? Hmm... That's a new word, I think.

[lonestarnot]

38. Well don't need a directory, just pack a hogleg! if it's women and

children that you fundies are worried about...How bout that directory for Iraq...Which hotel do they suggest there?

[undeterred]

39. "hostile and potentially dangerous environment for women traveling alone"

Geez, when I had a job that involved travel and lots of lonely nights in hotel rooms... :blush:

Fundie porn anecdote: I have a relative whose pastor at her Assembly of God church was suspended without pay for 3 months because he watched a porn movie while on an out of town trip for the denomination. Note that he did not "confess" his "sin" to the church until the nosy church treasurer who he submitted the bill to for reimbursement called the motel and pretended to be the pastor and found out what he had watched.
(His real mistake was asking the church to pay for it!)

She said it was shocking and that it was good they gave him some time to repent about what he had done. I don't even think her objection was along the lines of "porn objectifies women" but more that its bad to think about enjoying sex. This same person divorced her husband after 16 years of marriage and told me that she and her spouse had only had sex 9 times during their marriage, including 3 times during the 10 day honeymoon, and the rest to produce their 2 children.

No kidding.

[RandomKoolzip]

48. Pornography is a "substance?!"

Well, it produces substances, I guess.


Wow, that's odd. Do these people ever leave their home counties?

[TreasonousBastard]

49. The mind is in a constant state of boggle...

at this insanity.

Best thing may to be just take 'em all and stick 'em in an S&M dungeon with Mistress Helga until they get their minds cleared of all this filth.
