Porn Pulled from Family Resort

(AgapePress) - Adult programming will no longer be available via television at any of the five Great Wolf indoor water park family resorts located in the U.S.The decision came after Sharon Kelley, a physician in Lansing, Michigan, and her daughter arrived in their "Kid's Cabin" room. Kelley gave her daughter permission to turn on the TV, but when the child did, she was bombarded with hard-core pornography on the screen. Evidently, the child inadvertently punched a combination of buttons that led to the images.
Kelley described the images as "totally disgusting and unbelievable," and said she never expected to find adult programming in a resort that caters to children.
Rex O'Conner, a spokesperson for Great Wolf Resorts, Inc., explained that the resort bought a programming package from its TV, Internet and video-game service provider that included both adult programming and children's programming. He described the bundling as an all-or-nothing deal offered by the provider.
Kelley's experience proved to be the perfect argument for breaking up the programming package, something that Great Wolf corporate officials had already been trying to negotiate with the provider, according to the Lansing State Journal.
