The BBC notes that "American cinephiles will soon be able to enjoy their movies without sex, violence, swearing - indeed, without any of the interesting bits. Like some kind of electronic air freshener, a new generation of DVD players is poised to clear the smut, violence and bad language out of living rooms all across America."

The bad bits of the movies are all censored by hand and programmed into the player manually; so I don't know how they plan to enforce this for more than the 500 titles indexed so far..
