I wasn't around these parts when this thread made its rounds the first time.
I'm 100% against businesses like this. They make
my right-winged religious moral fiber itch.
A) I can't stand "holier than thou" people and that's how these businesses and their customers come across.
B) If you don't want to be exposed to the filth, avoid it all together. Don't watch someone else's "cleaned" up version and pretend you're better for it. For one thing, it sends the wrong message to the studios. If you want clean family friendly films then watch, rent, and buy films that were made that way to begin with. Copyright violations aside, buying an R rated film then editing it only tells the studios, "We like your film, make more like it."
C) I've always thought that extremists (left or right) are covering up something. They seem to be trying just a little too hard to prove something. The fact that this Daniel Thompson guy is the scum of the earth doesn't really surprise me.
I emailed one of these businesses once to voice my concerns. I'll have to dig through my inbox to see if it was this guy who responded.
By the way, I know some people who think this Clean Flix and others like it are a great idea. I want to rip their televisions and DVD players away from them shouting "You're not worthy!" But then that would be holier than thou too.
I think I'll just point them to this article instead and say "You want this guy deciding for you what is or isn't appropriate?"
ETA: Checked my email and there was no name attached. Just "Customer Service" from CleanFlicks Media, Inc.
