Simply put, if you don't want your children to see adult shit, then become a little more proactive in what your child is allowed to view.

You *can* keep your children from viewing or listening to adult material in your home. It just depends on how much effort you want to put into it.

~I agree with the self-censoring DVDs/TVs for those who wish to use it. Their freedom to protect their kids is as important as our right to be free to view those materials. ~

I strongly disagree. No one has the right to edit my intellectual property- that's a violation of MY rights, and MY artistic content. If the movie has inappropriate parts in it, you do not have to show them that movie. It is not their right to see it, if seeing it is inappropriate. That's why you have to be 17 or with an adult to see an R-rated film. That's why pornography is restricted to 18 and up.
Everyone seems to be ignoring the fact that if you teach them right from wrong with respect to foul language and adult content, then you empower them to make informed decisions about what they're seeing.
If your kid hears "fuck" in a movie and then starts using it, it's your fault for not being there to teach him why it's a bad word. Those are values that are instilled as SMALL children. Right and wrong - good and bad.
