Marriott says no to old porn


You're forced to leave home on business.  You arrive at your destination, "beautiful" King of Prussia PA! You spend your day in nauseating meetings and boring conference calls.  Your only break in the day will be spent getting an express lunch from Chili's which you're almost forced to purchase since the company has given you the standard $20.00 Per Diem and you will be damned if you don't use it. It's finally 5:00 PM, quitting time.

As you get into your car, you turn the engine and race back to your hotel. I have been dreaming all day about a nice hot shower, a big juicy bacon cheeseburger and fries via room service, a couple of beers courtesy of the stocked mini bar and maybe even some peanuts. You lay down on the perfectly made hotel king size bed and spot the remote.  As you go through the limited channels, you know exactly where this is leading you. There they are, the magical block of porn channels.  As you pass each title you attempt to read what the movie is about, but does it really matter?  You decide on a flick and take a deep breath as you press the buy button and realize that you are about to pay almost $13.00 for what will turn out to be a 10 minute movie.  Then the virtual cold shower happens. You read the notice in disbelief. "Marriot Hotels have discontinued this service. We apologize for any inconvenience."  The hotel offered free Wi-Fi, but since you have been a hard head all these years and have refused to buy a lap top you are forced to watch an old bowling tournament on ESPN 2 instead.


Misery Really Loves Company welcomes all those hard working and lonely old school business men who still believe in pad, pencil and calculator.  Invest in some new technology, because your little dirty hotel secret has been snatched right from under you. What is the world coming to. Next they'll remove the hand lotion. Poor bastards.
