How is this even possible? Different posters and I have shared different theories over the years. Some think it's the combination of the brisk pace of the show and poor French-to-English translation. Some think it's some sort of bot screwing things up. Whatever the case may be, it's been ongoing for a decade now, and no one at the station seems to be in any rush to fix it. I'm wondering if the software was originally designed for a porn channel or something of that ilk. Because the captions make sense grammatically for the most part, but are consistently ... erotic.

Keep in mind though, the grammar is something that I have to clean up significantly for the posts. It's an absolute dumpster fire, grammar-wise, when it comes through live. When I'm cleaning it up for the post, I walk a fine line in still presenting what was there, while at least trying to make it semi-intelligible.

I still think the porn channel theory has some water to it, because I can't think of any other reason why so many sexual terms keep ending up in the captions.

Wouldn't viewers be focusing on... other things?

Now THAT'S a plot for a Castlevania game.
Also, sad to see that Brock doesn't respect Meat Stasiak, nor Jews.

Makes sense. But names of wrestlers who haven't been in WWE for years also show up a lot. It's a mad artificial intelligence raised on porn and the attitude era...

I wish our captions were that cuckoo birdy.
