Speed Bump by Dave Coverly for June 15, 2012

But do you ever put your TV on mute and watch the closed-captions? On the major networks, they’re accurate, spelled correctly, etc. But on many of the others, they’re meaningless strings of letters, like some weird foreign language. I guess deaf people simply don’t watch those shows.

Good one, Dave! :ↁ How many seniors have had hi-deaf for years, and never knew it?

I can “hear” fine. Just can’t understand the words

I don’t think that’s the right deaf-inition

Watching an interview in the early days of CC. the interviewee stated something about the participants and it came out on the screen as poor piss pants. I wasn’t sure then or now whether the typist actually did that on purpose to see if anyone was paying attention.

teenagers and old people. The radio is cranked up loud because teenagers like it loud or because old people need it loud.

I must have lost most hearing in the 60’s… But then I can’t remember the 60’s.

groan…LOL

Did you know that Blu-ray players don’t do CC? Sadly, we found this out after my Dad had spent big bucks for a new system…. HDMI cables don’t carry that part of the signal at all, and if you go back to analog cables, it still won’t work because Blu-ray doesn’t transmit all the signal anyway…..Boy was he pissed.
