The DVD players are fine in my opinion,but like Hal said, it's the principle they stand for that's bullshit. The players are tackling what censor-supporters perceive to be the problem in completely the wrong way. Stop trying to change the content of movies, tv shows, billboards, and music. It can't be done. The choice is always there to change the channel. Frankly, it's stupid to try to change the music and the culture of a society. Exercise the choice to watch a different movie, or listen to a different song. Don't tell the artist that their art is "wrong".
The argument that turning a blind eye will cause more problems leading to the corruption of our youth is also bogus. A bunch of 20 year old U2 fans watching Bono say "fucking brilliant" on TV in elation will not lead to the downfall of our civilization.
