appealing to the general audience

I've been on a ski trip a month ago. We stayed at some hotel, which turned out to be not bad. It was even nice. As in every hotel there was a Bible on the table. Ok. I'm used to it now. This is not a post communist country with no religion, people do really go to church here and do read the Bible.
But than the first thing you wee when you turn on the TV some ads of hot local girls and it also referred to some paid porn channels (and I'm pretty much sure, that if only one percent of visitors cared for that - they would not advertise that... the public for that is probably much bigger).
I'm sure - having people watching paid channels is profitable and it does not hurt to advertise that, but it is just so inconsistent with idea of the Bible on the table.
Basically, this hotel room provided you with two messages (at the first glance) - Bible or Hot girls(and of course you can watch just regular channels. But once you turn the TV off and then on again - hot girls are right there). Pretty tough choice, isn't it?
It was a bit shocking for me since these two things could not go together in my mind.
