This reminds me a little bit of the controversy around colorizing movies a few years back. Citizen Kane was one of the movies that completely avoided the whole colorization nonsense because Orson Welles had the foresight to have it written into his contract that the movie couldn't be seen in any other forum besides what he had intended. That old rascal.

Yeah, sanitized movies suck, but what's really wild is that Wal-mart has enough pull to force CD companies to produced sanitized versions of albums just because they can drive so many sales. How long will it be before some brilliant VP at Wal-mart decides to force the movie companies to produce "cleaned-up" versions of movies exclusively for sale at Wal-mart? Especially now that this market has opened itself up like it has.
