edit: sorry, didn't read your entire post. why not just buy it edited?

Does that thing filter out the words though, or does it just look for ratings and block from playing any DVD considered more "Mature" than it's set for.

this is ridiculous.

Not really. My father was the same way... and he fought in WWII. Much of that generation was very sensitive about cussing.
Then why is there so much swearing in Band of Brothers and Saving Private Ryan?

If you think Hollywood accurately portrays history and culture, you need help.

If you think that men in the situations those were in didnt cuss much, you need help.

Not nearly as much, nor as vulgar as they portray it in those two movies.

And you were there?

No, my father was. And my mother was here in the States during that time as well. What was considered vulgar then is considered everyday today. What is considered vulgar today was unthinkable then.

Ask anyone born prior to the great depression and you'll hear the same thing.

So was he in WWI or WWII? Band of Brothers is a WWII movie. I would agree that cussing was probably not very prevalent in WWI, but I wouldn't believe that was the case in WWII.

BTW Band of Brothers wasn't your typical Holywood war movie. It was very accurate. Ask the remaining survivors that help the project.

Yeah, tough luck for him!
Turn down the volume and let him read the captions.

Captions? I didn't know there were captions...
never heard of closed captioning?

The caption tracks are how language filtering DVD players recognize profanity and bleep it out at the right moments.

just remember churchhills parrot.

Here's one for the table-talk next time you visit the Grandma & Grandpa.
EXCERPT BEGINS
Churchill's Parrot Keeps Cursing Nazis

She's a ripe old 104 years of age, her onetime owner is long dead and Hitler's Nazis were wiped out in 1945, but Winston Churchill?s parrot is still fighting World War II and cussing out the enemy.

Churchill named her Charlie after he bought her in 1937 despite the fact that she's a female, perhaps because she's not quite ladylike when she matters F.... Hitler or F.... Nazi's in a voice remarkable Churchillian, not surprising since he worked hard teaching her the vile vocabulary that makes her unique.

According to Britain's lively Mirror tabloid, Charlie regularly shocked England's high and mighty when she let loose a string of the profanity the mischievous wartime Prime Minister taught her and delighted hearing when she cussed her little heart out in shocked mixed company.

Alone in the midst of Churchillain pets including lambs, pigs, cattle, swans and, at one point, a leopard, Charlie had a voice.

After Churchill's death in 1965 Peter Oram bought her for his pet shop but not long after he had to take her to his garden center in Reigate, Surrey because she insisted on cussing a blue streak in front of customer's children. She has lived there for the last 12 years.

Still lively at 104, Charlie is beginning to show her age according to Sylvia Martin who works in Oram's garden center. "If truth be told, Charlie is looking a little scruffy but she is very popular with the public," Martin told Jack Magazine, adding that "We are all very attached to her."

Added James Humes, an expert on the late Prime Minister: "Churchill may no longer be with us but that spirit and those words of defiance and resolve continue."

Experts say that Charlie is Britain's oldest and only anti-Nazi bird.








and remember, hitler was a vegitarian, didn't smoke, didn't drink.... ;)
