The Federal Communications Commission received close to 10,000 public comments on a report it must submit to Congress on media content-control technologies like the V-chip/ratings system and cable operators' parental-control features. It turns out a lot of those comments, and likely the vast majority, were requests for technology that would filter out inappropriate language. According to TV Guardian president Britt Bennett, more than 95% of the comments referred to his product, TV Guardian, which can filter out and even find substitutes for curse words in TV content.
