I've seen it. It's real. And it's scary.

Finally, we can enjoy Bad Lieutenant as a family.

I'd been hipped to a little tidbit, from an unnamed source, that I found quite interesting. With all the hullabaloo going on at the library this product is sure to win the hearts of those so receptive to censorship. I went down to the local Target to check out ClearPlay, a DVD player filtering system with stunning Home Theater Quality!.

At last, a Big Brother for my home personal use with the catchy corporate buzz line of "You probally don't even know what you missed". This product/service edits a predetermined list of films using a subscription based filter available through the ClearPlay website utilizing their player. Wow, you mean I can pay you to tell me what I find objectional. Thanks for doing all the work ClearPlay! I surely couldn't do it without you. Amongst the list of films to chose from that could be interesting to see edited:

Fahrenheit 9/11
March of the Penguins
2001: A Space Odyssey
Waiting for Guffman


Checking their website for info they have some promotional videos and the usual crap. I did notice some of the Non-Profit "supporters" of ClearPlay are the cream of the Fundie Rightie crop:

Grass Fire
American Family Association
Focus on the Family

Thanks to Peter B. from the Democrat and Chronicle's Henrietta Blog I've gained some new insight into possible Closed Captioning contextual snafus.

A phrase such as:

Fuckin' ClearPlay, fuck you assholes. Fuckin' think for me? So I don't have to? Fascist America thanks you fuckwads.

Edited by ClearPlay could read:

ClearPlay, you think for me, so I don't have to. America thanks you.

Bad Lieutenant is not an edited selection by ClearPlay. Just thought it might get your attention.
