In Search Of...Captioning Bloopers

Tuesday August 2, 2005
I'm working on a project that I hope will increase public awareness of the need for improving the quality of closed captions. Towards this end, I'm on the lookout for especially humorous captioning bloopers. If you have any favorites that you'd like to share, I'd love to read them. If you can include any additional details, such as what images may have been on the screen or the channel or program, that would also be helpful. But mostly I just need the examples of unintentionally funny captions.
