“Marriott is a brand name put in locally owned hotels. It is a franchise operation.”
Which means that Marriott can put anything it chooses in its franchise contract. If ethics were more important than making porn profits, Marriott would contractually require franchisees — in order to use the name “Marriott” — not to associate the founder’s good name with porn and obscenity.
Restornu, you’re not just arguing that Mitt has no responsibility for Marriott selling porn in the decade he was on the board, you’re actually defending Marriott’s sale of porn itself.
And once again, you make clear that you simply don’t understand the system. You write: “A few of you, your solution would be to deprive all of the guests of this because the package also contains adult stuff.”
Wrong again. We’d simply like to see Marriott adopt the same corporate policy Omni Hotels have, for example. Provide the in-room movie system WITHOUT the porn. Is that so hard to understand, Restor? Apparently so.

What is the difference between President and CEO?
“The CEO is primarily responsible for strategy: long-range planning, company direction. S/he is the most direct interface between the board of directors/stockholders and the company’s managers and employees.
The president’s role tends to be operational and tactical: S/he keeps the wheels on the car, so to speak, and attends to the day-to-day business of the company. S/he is the manager of all managers.
Now, having said that, the biggest actual difference in most companies will be determined by the legal ownership and structure of the company.“
