In an attempt to rehabilitate the reputation of innkeepers everywhere after that troublesome Bethlehem incident, hotel chain Travelodge is offering couples named Joseph and Mary free accommodation this Christmas, if you're in Britain, Ireland and Spain.
Travelodge operations director Jason Cotta said the chain has "decided to evoke the true spirit of Christmas and invite Mary and Joseph couples as our guests."
"The phrase 'no room at the inn' is something that resonates with us in the hotel business."
How's that phrase "crass commercialism" resonating?
The offer runs between Christmas Eve and Twelfth Night (Jan. 5, 2008).
Oh, um, this is for MARRIED couples. (And, for the record, a couple named Joseph and Maury would be completely ineligible),
No need to be pregnant, though.
