Just saw commercial ads last night during Biggest Loser. Have you? First, I thought it’s great. Awww, look at them. Aren’t they cute?

BUT I find annoying to see the hearing men don’t know sign language when have girlfriend who is deaf and oral. My friend is right, it’s very sad.

I guess we may not see the real deaf culture for a while since Pepsi’s ads during Super Bowl, which was awesome and funny.

Wow, MADtv been running for 14 years, and finally, it cancel by FOX. Be honestly, I don’t like it anymore. I do miss the old day on first 2 or 3 seasons running with original staffs I’m familiar. They were so funny than Saturday Night Light (SNL).

Later in few after fourth season, new staffs being replace for every year or so. I cannot stand watch it because thing getting too annoying or too stupid. I start find little interest on SNL, part thank to Tina Fey. She is one of my favorite writers. But she also can be that funny, too. Well, yeah, she is beautiful. Pity, she is married.

Just let anybody wonder if I’m use VCR. Answer is YES. I’m still VCR. The only useful that I could watch it if I ever miss it and isn’t available to record through over-the-air (OTA). Or even on landline cable during the CW in digital channel is messy with digital closed caption (CC). Yes, I already send the complain letter to CW station in my location and FCC about the CC issues.

I find weird that when it show fine in first minutes until CW logo appear it become either it skip or appear in half before the sentence suppose to be finish. It doesn’t matter if it’s on OTA or landline. What a messy.

Reference from Banjo’s World on “Equal Access: HDMI is Inaccessible” that is about HDMI that we, deaf and hard of hearing, need to have it go through to HDTV. Subtitle can be the problem with anybody with poor visual. Built-in Closed Caption from media box isn’t help that much, but useful with Sling anyway. So, the figure should help to clear up.

If you’re think about get iPod Classic or Nano instead iPod Touch or iPhone. But you’re not sure about closed caption (CC) support. I’m show the proof that both lately iPod model that does support CC and does appear on the display. Text size is somewhere small but fair to read. Let saying it’s not too bad for anyone with good visual. It’s not only for deaf but for hearing, which is ideal, to watch in the noise level area.

Take note, the movie with closed caption is available from iTunes with Power Search. So far, I checked there is 94 movies with CC on list. I brought Italian Job (1969) that support CC that can be view on iTunes or iPod the lately model.
