I worked at an online Christian bookstore that had some how-to videos for users. One day a user called in furious that our videos would play in Windows Media Player.
The conversation went like this:
User: “I want it to only play in a Christian media player!”
Me: “There is no such thing as a Christian media player. Windows Media Player is a neutral thing, there is no built in morality, it will just play the video you click on.”
User: “Can I play porn on it?”
Me: “….Technically, yes. But you can play porn on your TV too, or you can watch the Price is Right, it’s a neutral thing”
User: “I dont’ want to watch videos on anything I can watch porn on”
Me: “Can you tell me what you saw on your computer to make you upset? Perhaps I am not understanding what you mean.”
User: “I found a button on Windows Media Player maked “Skins” – and I don’t want to see any skins, I just want to watch the Christian videos!”
