Many R-rated movies are released on DVD, and some of them are available in unrated versions that come with the extra *** and violence and outsell the original theatrical versions. Isn’t it time that we should go to the other way- releasing edited versions of R-rated movies (PG-13 or even PG)?

Consider these following examples. Hollywood studios could release PG-13 or PG versions of R-rated titles. They are already shown as in-flight airline versions, Middle Eastern versions with the *** scenes edited out, and European versions with the violence toned down. This is why that edited airline/Middle Eastern/European versions of R-rated film titles should be sold in the United States. These will please American audiences with sensitivities and moral and/or religious convictions.
That’s why I’m asking you the following questions: What do you think? Should edited versions of R-rated movies be released on DVD?
