Things that make you think "Hmmm......":

From the CNN article:

"The coalition also is trying to draw attention to CleanHotels.com, a directory of hotels and motels nationwide that pledge to exclude adult offerings from their in-room entertainment service."

So, that's what you'll find on CleanHotels.com, a list of hotels that 'pledge to exclude adult offerings from their in-room entertainment service'?

Maybe not - take a look at the CleanHotels.com legal disclaimer and you will read the following:

"All lodging properties listed on this website may or may NOT be free of all forms of adult pornography, adult material and/or adult pay-per-view pornography."

Their disclaimer gets pretty specific about what they mean by "porn" in the context of a hotel:

Cleanhotels.com makes every effort to provide "Clean" lodging properties that have reported no adult pay-per-view pornography on property.

"Additionally, Cleanhotels.com lodging properties offering premium television channels such as HBO, Cinemax, Movie Channel, Showtime and similar channels broadcasting adult-related material (R Rated Adult Movies) does NOT qualify as adult pay-per-view pornography."

Translation: When Little Johnny discovers HBO's Real Sex on the dial, you can't sue us for suggesting the hotel in question was "clean." (It's unclear from the disclaimer whether CleanHotels.com considers "unrated" sexually explicit content and/or NC-17 content to be pornography, though.)

And of course, no warrantees or refunds, offered or implied, naturally:

"Cleanhotels.com users/guests who encounter adult pay-per-view pornography (or any form of adult material) anywhere on lodging property during their stay will NOT be entitled to a refund or credit card chargeback of any amount."
