The Christian Right knows what’s best for you.
Which is why when you check into a Marriott hotel, they don’t even want to give you the option of watching porn.
Several conservative groups, including the American Family Association, are asking Marriott International Inc. to stop giving hotel guests the option of ordering pay-per-view movies with strong sexual content.
AFA, based in Tupelo, said 47 “pro-family leaders” have signed a letter asking chain’s chief executive, J.W. Marriott Jr., for a meeting to discuss their concerns.
This article doesn’t even mention the hypocrisy of how a Mormon hotel chain — that offers both a Bible and Book of Mormon in each room — makes plenty of money off those pay-per-view movies.
But that’s another issue.
The conservative groups don’t want to give you the option?
You know, you can always just not watch the movie.
You can always program your room’s TV to not display X-rated options.
You can always call the front desk and have them block the material for you.
None of that’s good enough, though. Apparently, these Christian Right groups don’t believe you have any self-control or willpower.
They just want to control your personal decisions.
Why? Who knows. Perhaps they think you’ll get so bored, you’ll read the Bible in the nightstand drawer.
Maybe the AFA and its ally groups should work on having their own members not use hotels for their own personal trysts.
