Just a minor correction, here. You mention "demons." Under the "C" heading inside the V-chip, C for Christian, any use of such Satanic-related language must be labelled for filtering by all right-thinking Christians. Terms considered to be Satanic-inspired: demon, daemon, sprite, troll, Goddess, witch, Wicca, Cthulhu, Crowley, and about 73 other words which the V-chip is programmed to recognize. (The V-chip had originally been programmed to reject "pixel," but we convinced them that pixels have nothing to do with pixies, which of course are on the list of banned words to be filtered.) --Klaus!
