Acutally I find DVDs are more and more going in the other direction. They're not edited to make them more family friendly; it is in the other direction.
A movie is R in the theater, and then comes out with an "Unrated Version" DVD. The 40 Year Old Virgin is being marketed this way on TV.
You can be sure that if they are doing it, Blockbuster is not requesting edited versions of some movies because they are into family values.
It is solely about the $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$.
Same for the studio. Blockbusters sells and rents lots of movies. The studio will make another version in order to make more $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$.
