If you're planning on staying at the Marriott, and you're into that sort of thing, bring your own porn, according to the Toronto Sun. Citing a decrease in revenue from on-demand services, and especially that of the adult variety, the hotel chain is removing it from their video-on-demand services.
“Changing technology and how guests access entertainment has reduced the revenue hotels and their owners derive from in-room movies, including adult content. We are working with in-room entertainment providers and technology vendors to transition to the next generation of in-room entertainment,” Marriott said in a statement.
The next generation being in-room, Internet-based, pornless, video-on-demand services.
“As we transition to this new platform, adult content will be off the menu for virtually all of our newly built hotels. Over the next few years, this will be the policy across our system," the statement said.
Oddly enough, the announcement of the change was made after Mitt Romney resigned from the company's board of directors. Not so surprising, say Christian organizations that have been critical of Romney, convinced he wasn't being assertive enough about the issue.
