Roast Caption

I've been watching the roast of William Shatner tonight and it's very funny. Much funnier than the Pamela Anderson roast that was reran last night. The only reason I was able to watch that was seeing Pam Anderson's nipples through her shirt.

Anyway, I watch tv with close captioning on. Sometimes it's really funny when a show is being captioned in real-time, while it's showing, and the captioner can't keep up. They try hard to keep up, but eventually they figure it's impossible, so they stop, skip a bunch of dialogue, and start fresh. So on the Shatner roast, Greg Giraldo was on, taking a dig at Farrah Fawcett, at that famous picture of her from the seventies:

"Farrah Fawcett, that picture of you was a seventies icon. You've caused more DNA to spill than a crime lab technician with Parkinson's." But the captioner couldn't keep up, so the captions read "You were a seventies icon. Like Parkinson's."
