You can’t voluntarily go to a seedy hotel if there’s no porn available!!! What’s the damn point? Most dilapidated hotels know that they’re dilapidated and therefore cater mostly to the people who appreciate such environments. These are the places you can role-play. Be that drug overload that pimps on the side, who walks in on one of his bitches lying around watching the E! channel. Or that outlaw couple who just heisted a 7-11 and need to shack up for the night to avoid police detection. And since watching some edgy porn usually falls well within these fantasies, while allowing some much needed stimulation as you count the cockroaches running across the bed, it’s option is a must to fully complete the picture. Well Minnesota Sen. Tarryl Clark (D-St. Cloud) doesn’t think so.
To be clear, this is a bill to prevent state employees from spending state funds at hotels or meeting rooms, in the state, that offer guests adult videos that are deemed too violent. But the language of the legislation, which was introduced in February, is somewhat vague on whether it refers to porn that is purchased by the guest or free porn provided as a selling point. It also doesn’t address what constitutes restricted content.
Of course! Because isn’t that at least one thing we’ve learned over the years? What is deemed offensive by one could very easily be considered light, or even stimulating by another. Pornography is subjective. Hell, the effect of curse words is subjective.
“State employees, constitutional officers, and members of the legislature may not use public funds to pay for the cost of lodging, training, meeting, or any other use of a facility that makes pornographic images or performances available to its patrons,” reads S.F. No. 2861. “This section does not apply when a compliant facility is not reasonably available and a written explanation of that circumstance is maintained with the record of payment. For the purposes of this section, ‘pornographic image or performance’ means a sexually explicit image or performance that objectifies or exploits its subjects by eroticizing domination, degradation, or violence.” Sounds like my weekends.
But since most hotels rely on these kinds of guests to stay in business…think about it, unless it’s strictly a pay-by-the-hour type establishment, hotels don’t really have the built in clientele of, say, a coffee shop…this means the entire industry is affected.
The bill does not determine exactly how films will be categorized, or by whom, or whether funds will be set aside to hire people to screen each adult video available in hotels throughout the state. I’d be perfectly happy to throw my hat into the ring should such a job become available, however. Probably wouldn’t be a whole lot different from the porn pushing I do around here at Orgasm.com.
The state’s Department of Administration would maintain a directory of approved facilities to help employees plan travel. If passed, the law would go into effect July 1, 2010.
Today…hotel porn. Tomorrow…your ability to think for yourself.
