Boycotting Best Western Motel Chains

This past weekend I flew to Boise, Idaho to meet Shawn and drive home with him. We had a great time. I chose a Best Western Motel to stay in and while I was waiting for my husband to arrive I was flipping through the stations on the TV. It was just about 9 PM. I was appalled by what I saw!!! At first I was not real sure what it was, yes, you can laugh and call me naive. It ended up after I finally figured it out, it was a porn movie!! AT NINE PM!!!! I called the front desk and then later went down to speak with the manager. I told her how disappointed I was that this kind of thing was being shown. At first I thought maybe somehow I pushed the "pay-for-view" button and signed up for something accidentally. She informed me that this was a regular station that they carried and that if I had cable at home this would be something that we could see at home too and there was nothing they could do, they would have to revamp the entire motel chain just to change this ONE station!!!!! I don't think she got the idea that I DID NOT WANT TO WATCH THIS and was VERY DISGUSTED THAT IT WAS EVEN ALLOWED ON AT 9 PM! Heck, there was an entire hockey team of high school boys staying at our motel!!!! UGH!!!! I am still thoroughly disgusted and cannot believe the reply that I got from the manager!

So, my advise to all who do not want to watch this stuff! BOYCOTT BEST WESTERN MOTELS! I know we will. I cannot even imagine what it would have been like had the kids been surfing through the stations and stumbled upon this. I am sure they would have watched for a few minutes wondering "what in the world" this show is . . . Thank goodness the kids were not with me.

Besides boycotting Best Western Motels beware of hotel/motel TVs. I guess since we do not have TV at home and monitor what movies the kids watch, this is really disturbing to me.

Thanks for listening to me on my little tirade! I pray that this will enlighten those who wish to be enlightened.
