Wal-Mart stores will begin selling a new type of DVD player that can skip over scenes containing violence, foul language or naked people. The DVDs will be sold for around $80, and the players will glide over portions of movies that parents might want to shield children's eyes and ears from. In response to news about the self-censoring technology, filmmakers Steven Spielberg, Martin Scorsese and Steven Soderbergh have all filed suit against the company that designed the software, the Guardian reported last week. Quickies wonders when the programmers will come up with a DVD player that skips all the extraneous stuff and leaves only the smut.
New in Condoms
New in Condoms
A vibrating condom and an anti-hemorrhoid chair were the stars of the show at an inventors' trade fair in Geneva last week. The condom, with a built-in vibrator, was created by a Taiwanese man, and has proved a top draw for hundreds of visitors to the fair. The South-Korean anti-hemorrhoid chair, which sends a scent of medicinal herbs through the seat which are then warmed by a candle, has also proved popular with visitors, reports Short News.com.
The process is supposed to prevent constipation, hemorrhoids, or bad circulation. Among the other inventions at the fair, from 675 gadget-makers from 42 countries, is a fork-knife-tong for cutting cream cakes, a "Crazy Assistant" that helps disabled people put on underpants, socks, and stockings, and a solar airplane.

Panda Love
Conservation workers in China have introduced an exercise regime for giant pandas being held in the country's zoos, because -- while cute as hell -- they're just too fat to mate. These overweight pandas have such difficulty with the opposite sex that it's hampering breeding efforts aimed at conserving the endangered species. "They're fat, their limbs lack strength, and they run out of gas quickly after standing up to have sex," says panda expert Tang Chunxiang. Pandas are being encouraged to lose weight and strengthen their limbs. They need help to get through the mating season, which usually starts in March and last three months, reports Xinhuanet.
More than 140 pandas live in captivity around the world. Chinese experts are teaching survival skills to some captive pandas with the hopes of releasing them into the wild next year, reports Reuters.
