Wal-Mart Sells Anti-Smut DVD Player

Wal-Mart is selling the world's first DVD player that can seamlessly skip over violence, swearing, nudity and other potentially offensive movie content.

wow, the mind reels at this one:

• why would someone who didn't want to see adult content play such a movie


• can't wait til someone hacks this to reverse the filter


• what would happen if you ran, say scarface, pulp fiction, or from dusk til dawn¹ through this


• this comes from the store in which guns are freely available - as they say on their website

  Guns and ammunition are only available in stores. Visit your local Wal-Mart for Every Day Low Prices on a huge selection of top brands.



• in altering an artist's work in an unauthorized way, isn't this a copyright violation?

¹just watched from dusk til dawn again a few days back. shockingingly intense even though i've seen it before...and speaking of such things - 2 more days til kill bill v2
