Would you take advantage of a human bed warming service at hotels?

January 20, 2010 by Ben (Lucky) 16

What am I missing here? Via Yahoo News:

Holiday Inn, operator of over 4,000 hotels worldwide, will begin to offer a free five-minute “human bed warming service” at it’s London Kensington hotel throughout next week.

If requested, a willing member of hotel staff will jump in your bed, dressed head to foot in an all-in-one sleeper suit, until your nightly chamber warms up.

Now I’m guessing they’re doing this for publicity because I can’t imagine anyone would actually want this, short of trying it once for entertainment. Or am I off base?
