Actually each deletion is a very deliberate decision made by a firm so that their constumers will pay for both the original film and their service. My decision as a consumer to buy the "cleaned" version over the original is also a very deliberate decision.
The real rub is where do you draw the line?
As long as the studio gets their royalty, the consumer should be the one to draw that line and they should be allowed to draw it where ever they choose.
What if all references to "speeding cars" (since cars kill) are erased?
Why shouldn't I be allowed to buy a version without it?
How about a particular word such as Christianity?
If I was as thin skinned as the very small but very vocal minority of secularists here on this forum, I should be allowed to buy just such a service.
The list is endless.
And equally irrelevant. The only issue here is the left's effort to force all of their perverse values on anyone who wishes to buy any of their products. This is no different than GM telling me I can't remove the pin stripe from my Corvette.
Slam dunk comment.
I think what Radio Astronomer meant when he said it is an "arbitrary decision" was that it is a decision he would not agree with. He's smart and rational; people who want the filth edited out of the movies they watch are stupid and arbitrary.
