Marriott urged to remove hotel room porn

WASHINGTON, July 21 (UPI) — Concerned Women for America wants Marriott International, the big hotel chain, to do with pornography what it just did with smoking.

Marriott this week announced that all its facilities would become smoke-free.

"Creating a smoke-free environment demonstrates a new level of service and care for our guests and associates," said J.W. Marriott Jr., chairman and chief executive officer of Marriott International. "Our family of brands is united on this important health issue and we anticipate very positive customer feedback. ... Demand for nonsmoking rooms continues to rise with new information from the Surgeon General on the hazards of secondary smoke."

CWA, an evangelical Christian group that describes itself as the nation's largest public policy women's organization, praised the move but suggested that this would be a good time to also ban porn from their facilities.

"We've been after Marriott for years to stop providing pay-per-view porn," said Jan LaRue, CWA's Chief Counsel. "But their excuse is that some customers want it. What's that percentage? If it's only about 5 percent, they've lost that excuse. I'm guessing that their cut from porn is a lot bigger than their cut from cigarette machines in the lobby.

"Marriott has placed itself in a perplexing box by banning smoker-friendly hotel rooms, even though 5 percent of customers want a smoking room. If it's about 'health,' why are they banning smoking only in hotels in the United States and Canada? What about former Surgeon General C. Everett Koop's report on the dangerous consequences of viewing pornography? What about the mental and psychological health consequences related to dependency on porn?

"With summer in full swing and many families looking for hotel accommodations during their vacation, we hope that Marriott will eliminate pornography as an amenity and lead the industry in creating a truly safe and wholesome environment.

"Not only would they reduce their potential legal liability related to a sexually hostile environment, I bet there would be a boost in sales as well," LaRue concluded.

If you can't see it unless you decide to pay for it, then I really don't see the problem. If you don't want to view it, you don't have to view it.

I am getting so fucking sick and tired of 'Christian/Catholic Groups' telling people how they should live thier lives.

Anyone else...?

I feel a counter campaign should be launched to have ppv porn included in Christian Women's group meetings.
Neither have a chance of happening and both should be taken as seriously.
What is a shame is that their campaign actually gets press coverage.

Jesus loves ATMs.

In a lot of hotels, you can disable the porn. Isn't that enough?

exactly. this is just another overbearing religious group trying to regulate other peoples' lives and it's really sad.

Yes. Especially when these 'groups' are made up of a single person.

These are Christian fundamentalists. Their morals begin with your right hand.
