I just spoke to the Marriott Hotel head quarters and they informed me that it was package deal, just as I said that those who subscribe to Digital Cable Value this is included in the package, and you have the option to block it!

Should the two of you continue this mischaracterization, I will consider the two you doing this with the intent to distort the true situation!

resty,
Who do you think purchases the package from
Lodgenet? Who do you think gets a cut of the money
when porn is purchased? Lodgenet is installed
to be a money maker for the hotel (Marriott isn’t
the only one) and it’s a HUGE one.

1. I am not mischaracterizing what they do -
I’ve witnessed it many times in a Marriott
when I stay there.

2. It doesn’t matter to me whether you consider
it anything. You are uninformed, having never
stayed there. You did not take the test.

best,

Here you go resty... some basic financial facts
for you about porn in hotel rooms and the bonanza
it brings the hotels...

“Marriott, Westin, and Hilton

These major hotel chains all offer in-room X-rated movies delivered to the hotel by one of two major distribution companies, LodgeNet or On Command. Some analysts say these in-room sex movies generate more money for the hotel chains than revenue from the hotels’ mini-bars.

“The 5 percent or 10 percent of revenue that the hotel chain gets, that’s pure profit to them because they have no cost,” says Dennis McAlpine, an entertainment industry analyst. “They didn’t put in the wiring system, they didn’t supply the programming.” (Read more of McAlpine’s analysis.)

A Hotel Chain That Said ‘No’

In late 1999, Omni Hotels announced that it would no longer offer adult pay-per-view movies in its rooms. The company’s statement noted that it made the decision “in response to what it perceives as a growing need for corporate America to support pro-family issues.”

Based near Dallas,Texas, Omni has hotels and resorts throughout North America and ranks 45th in the list of the top 50 U.S. hotel chains.

In an October 2000 New York Times article, Omni’s president, Jim Caldwell, said that his company’s decision to remove the sex-videos would cost it an estimated $1.8 million per year. The company stated that “[t]he anticipated loss in revenue demonstrates the company’s commitment to the issue. Omni Hotels has already removed adult magazines from the gift shops at its owned and managed properties.”

NOW, RESTY...

This is what the discussion is about THE 5-10% OF THE
REVENUE THAT MARRIOTT GETS EACH TIME A GUEST CHOOSES
TO PAY EXTRA FOR PORN.

THAT is what Mitt knew about as a Board Member of
Marriott Hotels. That is the question... “Did it
bother him to be a paid board member and to know
that the hotel chain he oversaw was paying him with
money from PORN sales.

Now, you can continue to defend porn sales and Mitt
all you want. But now you know the FACTS - 5-10% of
the profit from those porn sales go to Marriott. Maybe
that doesn’t bother you, who knows.

In any case, Mitt should answer, if he has nothing
to hide.

Here’s an article about the same thing
that says Marriott’s take on PORN sales
is in the tens of millions of dollars...

They’re being patently absurd, it’s all they have.

The Mitt distractors are becoming worse than liberals. They will give up our rights and constitution, if they can somehow sink Mitt!

Thanks for posting your info!
