Blockbuster recently announced that it would begin placing special signage on terrorist-themed movies and video games. Some movies in Hollywood are being delayed, revamped or released with special warnings describing the nature of the movies. What does the Penn State community think of the movie industry's new displays of sensitivity?

"I think it's taking things a little too far. I think it is good people are aware, but it's just a movie."— Dominica Bowski (sophomore-English and women's studies)

"I don't like it. I am totally against censorship. We live in a country under the First Amendment. We do have freedom of expression. . . . It was more like a business decision." — Jim Reardon (junior-business management)

"I think it's grossly unnecessary. People know there is a difference between movies and reality." — David White (freshman-international politics)

"If people are stupid enough to think there is a connection between a movie made years ago and that (Sept. 11), then they shouldn't be watching it anyway. It is obviously way over their heads." — Mollie Grover (junior-biochemistry)

"It sounds like Hollywood is finally admitting that they have some effect on society." — Jackie Graham (sophomore-educational policy studies)

"I think people are too sensitive. This is the reality of our world today. If Hollywood is going to hold back release dates, let them do it solely based on profits, thinking they'll maximize their exposure later. My concern with this sensitivity that is underlining our culture is the effect it has on our First Amendment rights. Sensitivities will breed taboos, will breed censorship." — Chris Previc, local businessman and part-time liberal arts student
