It's actually very 50s, old-school advertising.<BR/><BR/>Yes, the powers that be are thwarting our ability to screen these things out.<BR/><BR/>However, that's another good use for image and speech recognition... somebody needs to create a product that filters stuff on the USER side. Right now all we have is the power off button, the mute button, and the channel changer. <BR/><BR/>Granted, such a product that could selectively screen stuff out would be crushed with lawsuits by the big folks as soon as it came out, but it's still a nifty idea...Dave S.noreply@blogger.com
