Everyone has their priorities.  For these people, it’s making sure you don’t whack off in your hotel room:

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.

First of all, I have never heard of a hotel that offered any material that would actually violate legitimate laws.  So obviously, these people operate on a different definition of “obscene*” than most folks — if it involves nekkedness in any way whatsoever they go all ban-happy.  That’s no surprise.

What’s interesting is how blatantly this type of culture-war barking completely contradicts the claim of american conservatism to support a free-market.  It’s PAY-PER-VIEW, guests don’t get it unless they explicitly ask for it, objection to availability itself assumes that people are forced to look at it.

By some estimates, adult movies are available in roughly 40 percent of the nation’s hotels, representing more than 1.5 million rooms. Industry analysts suggest that these adult offerings generate 60 to 80 percent of total in-room entertainment revenue — several hundred million dollars a year.  (emphasis mine)

The majority of hotels don’t have it, yet it makes the majority of the money from in-room entertainment.  Gee, what would it make sense to do businesswise, keep offering if it’s there & start offering if it isn’t, or kill the cash cow & lose a distinguishing mark on your competition to shut up a group that already has more choices?

(* - personally I don’t believe in obscenity as a legal concept.  Provided that whoever is in the film isn’t either a) a child or b) being forced, there is no reason whatsoever to care.  I myself don’t watch porn, though not out of any moral concern.  My reason would go into TooMuchInformationVille rather quick, so I will spare you that.)
