    Controversial DVD censoring system to be launched in UK

    A controversial new DVD system that can censor films is to be released in the UK later this year.

    ClearPlay allows parents to filter material with options to remove scenes containing blood, violence, offensive words and blasphemy.

    But the system has been criticised in America, with the Directors Guild of America taking the company to court claiming violation of copyright laws

    It's not like it's being forced on people who don't want it. It's optional !

    Surely the DGA would be glad that it will allow more movies to be watched by certain people who would not normally watch them ? Extra $$$
    Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

    Is there an opposite system where I can buy a DVD of the Teletubbies and get hot girl on chimpanzee action?

    PS I meant girl on girl. How did that happen?

      It's the mods testing a new bestiality filter dear Xog. Allegedly. I think they've got it the wrong way round though.
