NOTE FROM KRISTIAN:
Wal-Mart has introduced a “family-friendly”
DVD player, pre-programmed to instantly delete
scenes containing sex, violence or rough language.


The Top 8 Side Effects of
the “Family-Friendly” DVD Player


8> “The Sopranos: Season One”: “Hey, Tony….” (end credits)

7> Player not only deletes offensive scenes, but *repeats* sappy ones.

6> Adults bribe their kids to show them how to bypass the parental controls.

5> Everyone realizes Sharon Stone is actually kind of a bad actress.

4> No pause or rewind, just 32x Fast Forward.

3> All female characters now in digitized, floor-length burkas.

2> “Friday the 13th” movies just endless shots of lone kids walking down hallways.

and the Number 1 Side Effect of the “Family-Friendly” DVD
Player…

1> Hannibal Lecter seems less like a bad guy, more like a friendly chef.
