'Please don't do this': Why Sony's plan to sanitize movies could be a 'slippery slope'
The entertainment company's home entertainment wing launched "clean versions" earlier this week, offering digital downloads of sanitized family-friendly versions for two dozen of their movies — including White House Down, Moneyball and Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. Even the kids book series-turned-Jack Black film Goosebumps made the list.My vote is for proper labling. You should have a list of things on the back of the box like ...
Contains Gore
Contains Sex
Contains Violence
Contains Drug Use
...etc etc etc
And people can make up their own minds.
Let them sell "clean versions" and "Dirty Versions" and "Full versions" all they like.
Just properly label it.

Remember when the only way to watch movies once they left the theater was to wait until they showed on TV? When they were edited to remove all the sex, nudity and excessive violence? This is nothing new. It's not going to replace the original versions. As a parent, I see this as a good idea. I wish they would do this with video games like the GTA series as well.
