NEW YORK - 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.
The coalition also is trying to draw attention to CleanHotels.com, a directory of hotels and motels nationwide that pledge to exclude adult offerings from their in-room entertainment service.

Fortunately, they don't exist.
You are wise, my friend.
What is with all you hummers? It's really annoying. Say what you mean.
Your point, by the way, is ridiculous.
Do these "hmmmmmers" annoy you or is it just me?
groan....
Wait a minute, if someone watches porn to the point of arousal and "Pleasures Themself" to the point of orgasm, isn't he committing "preemptory Abortion"? All those potential fetuses (Feti, maybe) ending up in a kleenex.
So everyone will be using the sidewalk as a toilet? Ewwww.

A lot of threads attract many posters. And many posters will use similar arguments.
So what does that prove?
That's it? :-)
So, you have no problem misusing Federal powers for something you personally find distasteful?
All Freepers should be against that.
"Yeah, I got the feeling they do stuff like this to keep the donors happy."
BINGO! Don Pardo, tell our contestant what she has won!
You are absolutely right, here. These organizations are dedicated to raising money from the perpetually offended.
Nope, half of the chromosomes that make up the human genome will never develop cognitive function, all you get are knuckle children, but you knew that :>) Good try though.
Seriously? Thanks, man.
Do you support the "community standards" of New York & Chicago regarding the ownership of handguns?
Yes -- I like your perspective.
Much better the Nannies get in and decide for people.
Thank God the founding Fathers reserved to the people the rights to set their own community standards.
It appears to one of the few things that keeps us from having an American Taliban to set the "standard" for everyone.
Equating the specifically enumerated second amendment protection of the right to bear arms, with the esoteric right to porn that must be inferred among the penumbras is about as ridiculous as the earlier comment equating porn and abortion.
In other words, while the power to set community standards is rightly recognized under the 10th Amendment as reserved to the People and to the States, the power to set community standards regarding ownership of firearms is not as it is clearly prohibited by the 2nd Amendment.
Some? More like most. Which, considering how porn is targetted towards hetero males, is very strange, I may add.
I thought conservatives didn't believe in the misuse of Federal powers.
So, now it's just the libertarians, huh?
