Saving the World

They do seem to have an inordinate amount of time to spend on anything related to sex, don’t they?
NEW YORK - Pornographic movies now seem nearly as pervasive in America’s hotel rooms as tiny shampoo bottles, and the lodging industry shows little concern as conservative activists rev up a protest campaign aimed at triggering a federal crackdown.
A coalition of 13 conservative groups — including the Family Research Council and Concerned Women for America — took out full-page ads in some editions of USA Today earlier this month urging the Justice Department and FBI to investigate whether some of the pay-per-view movies widely available in hotels violate federal and state obscenity laws.
I’m seeing these Bible verses in a whole new light:
Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world. For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.’
Then the righteous will answer him, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?’
The King will reply, ‘I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me.’
Then he will say to those on his left, ‘Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. For I was hungry and you gave me nothing to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink, I was a stranger and you did not invite me in, I needed clothes and you did not clothe me, I was sick and in prison and you did not look after me.’
They also will answer, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or needing clothes or sick or in prison, and did not help you?’
He will reply, ‘I tell you the truth, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me.’
“But Lord, I did cleanse hotel rooms of impure movies!”
“Who asked you to do that?”
I liked the “adult selections offered by OnCommand” page on their website…“Milk and Cookies”? Tehe, not exactly.
I see something else in a new light now as well. Those to his left, are those standing to the right (assuming he is facing them). Makes sense somehow.
While we’re protecting America’s morals by cleansing hotel rooms of obscenities, can we trash the ubiquitous goddamn Bibles in every one too?
Great. A publicly funded crusade to stamp out masturbating in hotels.
Oh, and:
“Anything that brings porn into the mainstream is a concern. It just desensitizes people.”
Yeah, that’s it. They’re worried we’ll become desensitized to sex.
