Dang, the hypocrisy of Marriott has been stock in trade for some antis. Now, what will we do?

Marriott takes porn off the menu

Sounds like they are saying it won't be added to the new hotels they are opening, implying that they will remain in the existing ones.

Also, later in the article, it appears they are setting this up as if it might be a temporary situation.

Whew! The church almost became true again!!

There's still some life in the accusation. They are not removing it for any moral reasons, but simply because it isn't making money like it used to. It's simply easier, cheaper, faster, and more private for people to watch the porn on their iPods, iPads, and laptops. Marriott can't compete so they are getting out of the business.

The owners of Marriot Corporation pay tens of millions of dollars per year to the LDS church in the form of tithing. Some portion of that profit was made selling pornography.

That's the issue.

A copy of the Book of Mormon in each room for one.

Must really suck (no pun intended) that mobile internet and ipods allow people to watch porn for free rather than pay for it in their hotel room.

The chairman and CEO of Marriott International is a General Authority.

And the business school at BYU is named after the Marriott family.

ETA: And Marriott International operates a hotel in Hawaii that is owned by the Church.
