Lock the kid in the car, throw away the keys. It's time to CAPTION!!!
Edited on Thu Jul-16-09 03:47 PM by skip fox



"Wouldn't you say, that since we have you firemen before us, that New Haven is less safe today in case something were to happen. Then having you testify because of this Judge Sodamaker is putting our citizens at risk of bodily harm for no reason except so she can get a job. Doesn't that make her like a terrorist if not an actual terrorist herself???"

8. Sorry, but what?
You made that up, and presented as a quote? Or, as you put it, a caption?

Oh.

Never mind ................

7. Graybeard, I think it must be a langauge processing thing.
Actually, when I used to caption all the time in DU i'd get this many times a day, esp with W.

9. Well, you see,
it's not funny.

It's convoluted, and using the word "caption" doesn't serve to clarify anything.

If you labeled it as a made-up quote, then, maybe it's funny. But, this way - no, it's confusing, misleading, and not funny.........

17. Captioning at DU has a long tradition, flourishing durning W.'s misbegotten reign.
It does take attentiveness.

Which can be fine (others actually make up FUNNY captions!) but the the responses here suggest it's not funny, just confusing.
