Sleazy Guests Prompt Call To Ban Hotel Porn
<snip>

OSLO (Reuters) - Angry hotel workers in Norway want to ban pay-TV pornography to stop naked porn-watching guests calling room service to lure female staff to their rooms.

A typical trick by guests, mostly businessmen, is to call the front desk for extras, such as fresh towels, to get female company, said the Norwegian Hotel and Restaurant Workers' Union, reporting a rising number of complaints.

"Most room service personnel work alone. It can be very unpleasant to get called to a room to be met by a naked man," union leader Eli Ljunggren told Reuters. She said the complaints ranged from sleazy remarks to physical assaults.

"Pornography does not belong in hotel rooms. Pay-TV should be limited to entertainment," she said. Most Norwegian hotels, like many hotels around the world, have easy access to pornography channels in hotel rooms for a fee.

2. Why don't they just implement hotel escort services?
Then the hotels could make money off that too.

3. Arrest the sleazeballs - no reason why the hotel workers should have to
put up with that. It is sexual harassment at the very least and the hotel workers have a case against the hotel management if they allow it to continue. A couple of sleazeballs frogmarched through the lobby with their bare heinies and dicks hanging out and it would stop immediately, I would think.

4. 85% of these "movie watchers" watch less than 10 minutes on average
That was in Franken or Moore's book I can't remember which.
