"How many of the free DVDs given away with newspapers are the sorts of things that would be unsuitable for children"

As I pointed out earlier, evidently quite often.  It would only take one under-15 buying a newspaper with a 15-rated film (like Saturday's Telegraph, for instance) to open Sainsbury's up to unwelcome prosecution (and their staff to a criminal record?).  They're being risk-averse for a reason.

Now, you can argue either for the scrapping of age-restrictions on films, or that Sainsbury's should spend money amending their systems to check with every newspaper publisher for the age-rating of each day's issue, or use a bit of common sense and realise that in hundreds of stores with thousands of staff, hundreds of editions of a number of newspapers every year, it's not actually that easy, particularly when the cost is imposed by the newspaper's circulation war.

Or just go to a local newsagent that's prepared to check the age-rating on any free film for you, and ask for ID if it's 15 or 18, just as they would with a normal DVD sale.
