xxxxxx xxxxxxxx!

And in the Missing the Point Category, we have MeTV. Purveyor of classic television, including Perry Mason, to which I am addicted.

Because I suffer some hearing loss and tend to not wear my hearing aids at home, I usually turn on the subtitles when watching Perry. Which is where we run into the issue.

I can understand censoring foul language, but really, they've gone too far. People drink cocktails, not xxxxtails. It got really bad last night, where the mystery centered on the death of a young man named Richard two years prior.

Of course, everyone called him Dick. Which came out on screen as xxxx. Had I been dependent on the subtitles, rather than using them as an aide, I wouldn't have been able to follow the story. Which would have been a pity, as "The Case of the Golden Venom" is really good.

I'm going to try to figure out who does the closed captioning and suggest they adjust their algorithm.
