Right-wing activists attempt to force censorship of porn onto hotel corps:

Conservatives target porn at hotels
13 groups urge Justice Dept. to launch a probe for obscenity violations Large hotel chains say the choice to offer adult films rests with franchisers, and no one is forced to watch.
By David Crary
The Associated Press



New York - Pornographic movies 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 the FBI to investigate whether some of the pay- per-view movies widely available in hotels violate federal and state obscenity laws.<......>

I guess they don't like government intrusion into privacy except when it comes to one's private sexual life. Typical fucking hypocrites.

4. Saw a thread on this yesterday, this is pointless,
porn is a cash cow for hotels. They can't even get Marriott to pull the adult titles. Besides blocking them is easy. I love how they claim that sexual assaults are going to increase in hotels. Uh.. clue... porn has been available in hotels for nearly 20 years already... morans.
