Auto-Censoring DVD Player

Posted by michael on from the naughty-bits dept.

Gogl writes "Those clever folks at RCA have apparently designed a DVD player that automatically scans movies and censors them to make them kosher, as it were. That means none of the naughty bits and none of those bad words either. It will be sold by Walmart for the price of $79, and what with the recent Janet Jackson 'wardrobe malfunction' this product will likely be lauded by the FCC and moralists everywhere, though Hollywood is already complaining."

    There is nothing fucked up about that system. Sex is good, violence is bad. Are you telling me you prefer to spend the day shooting and killing people instead of making love and having sex?!?!?

    YOU are one fucked-up menace to the world.

    Finally we can put Stern.. and real boobies on TV (other then the stiffs on CSI). I mean this with the Vchip, all we need is Cable/Satalite STB's that have the same thing in them.. then we let loose all the programming that people want. If some Religous Right moron complains then we just say 'why didnt you get a filtering box'. Finally a free and open sociaty where were parents get to decide what comes into their home instead of forcing they lame ass morals and cheezy belif systems on me. Its going to be hard for the FCC to pass large fines when there are devices parents can use that nullfies all their arguments for the fines.
