[edit] V-Chip?

What does the "V" stand for? the Great Canadian Ben 01:03, 8 April 2006 (UTC)

  • According to this, it stands for "violence."
  • According to this, it stands for "verboten," the German word for "forbidden."
Take your pick. Then again, you could always mention both in the article. - Someguy0830 (Talk | contribs) 09:30, 9 April 2006 (UTC)
How is it that Wikipedia can have over 1 million articles, but I run into the same 3 people everywhere I go? --tjstrf 06:27, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Paraodies and Spoofs

Does this even need to be a part of the article? I have removed it unless someone here can give me a valid reason. :: Colin Keigher 04:53, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Good lord

this article needs to be elevated to wikipedias standards.

[edit] Neutrality

Some of the content needs more references. And the tone, in some places, seems to suggest a bias. Done a little bit of editing, but too tired to do more at the moment... Dhollm (talk) 23:50, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

Although I agree that some of the article is of a negative tone, if something is universally unpopular, it would almost be a disservice to wipe from the article anything negative. Take for example Hitler. If we worked on the article, I'm sure we could word it in a way that although factual, the article could make Hitler sound like an OK guy, however, he is the poster child of evil and writing an article with a completely neutral standpoint on Hitler would be ridiculous. In the same way, if the V Chip is criticized by many and unused by more, I would say that to *some* extent, a negative tone isn't out of place. Dr Legitimate (talk) 13:24, 12 May 2008 (UTC)
