Captions

am sorry that you apparently stay awake at night worrying about those people who haven't figured out how to use the captions,

Tom, have you ever turned on the Closed Captions option on your TV?

I had a TV where I could NOT turn off the option- I gained an appreciation of just how screwed the deaf are...

I was watching with the sound muted while I was on the phone and saw the captions while Kerry was apparently talking about "Your Rain Yum".... Turned out he was talking about Uranium...

I also saw the captions say, for ~30 seconds during a news program: "KILL KILL KILL DIE DIE DIE" -and no, I was NOT hallucinating...
