Support my community. Support me. Rent some smut.

When one reads materials about the Sioux Falls-based Lodgenet Entertainment Corporation, one sees phrases like "LodgeNet Interactive Corporation is the leading provider of media and connectivity solutions designed to meet the unique needs of hospitality, healthcare and other guest-based businesses," or "LodgeNet is a leading provider of video, Internet and advertising to the hospitality industry."

While LodgeNet does provide a wide variety of services, it is perhaps best known in real life as the purveyor of movies, adult and otherwise, to that hotel you stayed at during your last audition. It also posted a Q4 loss of $19.7 million, largely related to projects undertaken to expand its empire.

So the next time you're in that hotel and can't decide what to watch, please think of my fair city. Think of the jobs that Lodgenet provides.

And think of me, as Lodgenet is one of my employer's corporate sponsors - ironically enough, one of the title sponsors of the family concert this year. No comments.

Just push the number four, hit enter, and think of the jobs you're helping to sustain for the low, low price of $12.99 plus tax.

Boom-chicka-wah-wah.
