So the big-screen TV for your living room must have a v-chip, but the little portable which sits in the kid's room doesn't need to have one?

Bunch of MENSA candidates there, clearly.]]>Feb 24th 2006 7:54AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/02/24/v-chip-2-0-or-v-gis-set-to-debut-in-dtvs/http://www.engadget.com/2006/02/24/v-chip-2-0-or-v-gis-set-to-debut-in-dtvs/

Am I missing some great conspiracy?

I would like a chip that could block entire channels for 30 minute blocks of time. Call it the thumb surfers chip... a new set of favorite channels every half hour, banning the infomercials and other dreck.]]>Feb 24th 2006 12:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/02/24/v-chip-2-0-or-v-gis-set-to-debut-in-dtvs/http://www.engadget.com/2006/02/24/v-chip-2-0-or-v-gis-set-to-debut-in-dtvs/
The following program hasbeen rated TV14-ASPNMV. Press the V button on your remote for more info.

[press... the following appears on screen]

AS - Adult situations containing some kinda sexy moves. And that one chick... dayumn.

PN - Partial nudity comes within 1/4 inch of a nipple. We measured based on geometric interpolation. It's that one chick again.

MV - Mild violence with just a few gun battles or something. We didn't really pay attention. Not like it really matters, right?]]>Feb 24th 2006 1:35PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/02/24/v-chip-2-0-or-v-gis-set-to-debut-in-dtvs/http://www.engadget.com/2006/02/24/v-chip-2-0-or-v-gis-set-to-debut-in-dtvs/
I personally await version 6, V'GER. It can tell the difference between differing types of carbon units and can operate in space. Plus there's a naked bald women inside each one.]]>Feb 24th 2006 1:48PM
