Marriott Hotels to Ban Porn

Hammer · 07-24-2006

The funny part is that she's arguing that watching porn is bad for your mental health but the one argument that I might agree with, she doesn't bring up. As a parent, the one point that could possibly make me think about supporting this is the fact that if my kids were in the room and my wife was out and I was in the shower, or whatever, they could access the porn channel with no problem. It would seem appropriate to me to require the guest to request that the porn channel be activated in their room at the time of check in and then be allowed to pick a password that would need to be keyed in from the room somehow.

Actually Hammer, It is the opposite - for a fee, you can have it blocked at most hotels. $3.50 is the last price I heard about.

So they make money from having the porn in the room even if you don't want it.

Yeah... like only 5% of hotel patrons want to watch porn. I think THAT statistic is drastically modest! Never fear, the money talks louder than the morality!

You do have a point....5% does sound ridiculously low, especially for the Marriott...

Wow, I had no idea! I thought you had to request the channel to be turned on or rent one of the movies through the menu system.
