Totally Estúpido! Part 4
(I work at a TV station, and I am answering the Closed Captioning issues phone.)
Me: “Hello, Master Control.”
Viewer: “Why aren’t the captions in English?”
(I check the closed captioning against the dialogue being spoken.)
Me: “Oh, the captioning is in Spanish because they’re speaking Spanish.”
Viewer: “Well, why isn’t it translating it into English?”
Me: “That’s not what closed captioning is for. It’s for the deaf.”
Viewer: “Well, can’t you make it be in English?”
Me: “No, I can’t. Again, that’s not what captioning is for. It’s so the deaf—”
Viewer: “F***ers.” *click*
