Standard Hotel Exhibitionist
The Standard Hotel is a luxury hotel that is generating a huge amount of buzz around New York City and the web.
The upscale (in price and amenities, if not taste) faces a park in the Meatpacking District (can't make this stuff up) and parents are disturbed that children might be interested in peeping at the guests "performing" while staying at the Standard Hotel.
Neighbors and visitors say they have seen masturbation, porn films in progress and coupling.
The New York Post reports...
"That crazy kind of behavior is completely unnecessary," complained Bobby Shoule, 37, of Queens, the father of a 15-month-old daughter.
Business neighbors also are disgusted.
"I've seen a few porn shoots -- three dudes walking around a hotel room with cameras and lights filming a couple," said Joe, a manager at the next-door Brass Monkey. "I've seen at least 10 different people having sex. Saturday nights are the best time for the show."
The Standard's Facebook page loves the action and has suggestions on guest behavior
"We encourage you to exercise your inner exhibitionist. Please share your intimate, and explicit photos with us -- those floor to ceiling windows aren't just for the views . . ."
The Standard Hotel's marketing has been anything but standard...
"We'll put up with your banging if you put up with ours," an ad declared, picturing a woman wearing nothing but a tool belt.
Some unhappy passers-by were disgusted, too.
"Recently, I saw a man masturbating in one of the windows," said one person who asked not to be identified. "That's when it left the funny side and moved to the gross, dark side."
Grandparent Gwen Barrett said the neighborhood has always been edgy.
"That kind of stuff here is anticipated," she said.
Still, "I definitely wouldn't want to bring my grandkids here," she added.

I say bravo... at least they're not hiding anything.
Let's take, oh, some Colorado pastor, for example.
Nothing worse than a hypocrite.
