If you haven't heard, Holiday Inn has launched an amnesty program for guests who steal a total of 500,000 towels each year from their hotels. In exchange for amnesty, guests must tell Holiday Inn their story of how they've used their stolen towels. For every story they receive, the hotel conglomerate will donate $1 to charity.

As a follow-up to my earlier post on "confession," I thought the comments from a Holiday Inn spokesman were very interesting:

"This really is lighthearted. It's just a way for people to come on, tell us their story and relieve any lingering guilt they might have about having a Holiday Inn towel in their linen closet."

Hey! Anybody want to come clean?
