Fundies launch national effort to ban hotel room adult pay-per-view

Phil Burress of the Cincinnati-based anti-gay Citizens for Community Values on Ohio has been all over pay-per-view porn on hotel TV "problem" for quite some time, establishing CleanHotels.com, a listing service to alert travelers where there is no availability to order such pay-for-play content.

Now the big guns -- the American Family Association, Family Research Council, Concerned Women for America and Morality in Media are teaming up, calling themselves "The Campaign for Corporate Responsibility" and are placing an ad in USA Today urging the Justice Department to investigate the purveyors of pay-smut for "violating federal and state laws about distributing obscene material."



Does someone need to tell these folks to simply not order the porn if they don't want to watch it? (AgapePress):

Not only does the coalition of groups believe the movie content is illegal, they are convinced such hardcore porn leads to sex crimes against women and children. The ad quotes three individuals whose work supports that assertion, and also makes the case that financial gain is the primary reason why hardcore porn -- which it refers to as a "toxic 'drug'" -- is readily available in virtually any hotel room in the country.

"It's ... time the producers, the distributors, and the hotels are held accountable for the tragic human and cultural expense from which they profit," states the ad.

According to Wildmon, all the groups feel it is important the DOJ enforce those laws. "Much of what's offered in hotel rooms in terms of the triple-x type material is the same kind of material that would be prosecuted were it sold down the street at a movie rental store," he explains. "It goes beyond just sexually explicit into hardcore material, which makes it legally obscene in our estimation."

Brad pointed out in the comments that DIRELAND links to a release regarding a ChristiaNet Poll that shows all that praying to Jeebus isn't stopping good evangelicals from ordering up and consuming porn, including way too many in the pulpit. As we say here all the time, these folks are fixated on sex to such a degree that it turns into a pathology. What a howler, these hypocrites.

If there could be one place protected from the cancerous infection of pornography and sexual misconducts, one would assume that the Christian church would be that sanctuary. But, recent research is revealing that no one is immunized against the vice-grip clutches of sexual addictive behaviors. The people who struggle with the repeated pursuit of sexual gratification include church members, deacons, staff, and yes, even clergy. And, to the surprise of many, a large number of women in the church have become victim to this widespread problem. Recently, the world's most visited Christian website, ChristiaNet.com, conducted a survey asking site visitors eleven questions about their personal sexual conduct. (http://www.christianet.com)

Amazingly, there were one thousand responses to the poll conducted by ChristiaNet.com. ChristiaNet.com partnered with Second Glance Ministries in evaluating the poll responses and it seems the Christian community is struggling with many of the same "temptations" that the secular society is faced with.

"The poll results indicate that 50% of all Christian men and 20% of all Christian women are addicted to pornography," said Clay Jones, founder and President of Second Glance Ministries whose ministry objectives include providing people with information which will enable them to fully understand the impact of today's societal issues. 60% of the women who answered the survey admitted to having significant struggles with lust; 40% admitted to being involved in sexual sin in the past year; and 20% of the church-going female participants struggle with looking at pornography on an ongoing basis.
