There are times when watching Curse Free TV can seem a bit disorienting. Because they do not want to use words like dumb or jerk or stupid and avoid even neutral references to the posterior, the alternative language doesn't always make sense. For the most part, however, what is striking in watching a demonstration of Curse Free TV is how gratuitous most profane and obscene references are in feature films. An action film without profanity is more often like a CD without a record player, or a surgeon preparing for an operation without a couple of drinks. However, the Rev. Robertson said, the device's most important feature is in protecting religious ears from hearing God' s name taken in vain.
Product aims to eliminate objectional language from TV .
Now there is Curse Free TV, a new product that aims to let viewers separate the sacred from the profane. This is not a V-Chip that blocks out objectionable programming. Curse Free TV is designed to expand the entertainment options of viewers concerned about objectionable language. It reads the closed captioning and intercepts more than 100 objectionable phrases as selected by a panel of clergy before they hit the screen, according to Randy Gorman, spokesman for the New Orleans-based Curse Free TV company. Curse Free TV went on the market in June and is being distributed in Christian bookstores and on the Internet.
