A way to filter out naughty words

When Rick Brey, an inventor from Arkansas, got tired of hearing bad language on TV, he developed a device called TVGuardian: The Foul Language Filter. A lot of his customers are Mormon. This little black box works by scanning the closed captions embedded in TV signals. TVGuardian searches for offensive words and when one is found, the volume is quickly affected. TVG also features captioned word substitutes and offers two settings, tolerant and strict. The unit sells for around $150. Call 888-799-4TVG or visit tvguardian.com for more information.
