She's waiting like an Iceberg,

This is brilliant. I've just been browsing some stuff on the net and come across this, a DVD player with a built-in child friendly filter thing.
This bit comes straight from the website.

I love the way that even on the website, any words that could be construed as potentially offensive have been asterisk-ed out.
What does it mean ' "strong profanities such as "ass"? Since when has ass ever really been a word that falls into some crudely offensive category? And in a film as well? Some poor sod could just be discussing his donkey.
So this invention basically means that outside of Disney films and The Sound of Music, the film world is a closed door. That list pretty much boycotts Hollywood as we know it.
"Yeah, I watched Lord of the Rings, Kill Bill, Trainspotting, and American History X this weekend. Great films but they only lasted 2 minutes each."
