The adage of "given an inch, try to take a mile" seems to come into play here - United provides a decently large selection of both PDE and seat-back entertainment (on all but DirecTV birds) and people are complaining that it's censored so it's (for the most part) family friendly?
Um, it's actually the stupidity of hearing a character say something like "you can go and fudge yourself". Nobody has ever actually used those words - in a film it turns the whole thing into a third-rate comedy.
You're going to be so easily offended by profanity? Then you should provide your own entertainment at your own cost. The lowest common denominator of "family friendly" is a crock.
