Subtitular Substitution (Updated) 0

Last night, we watched an episode of Perry Mason.

We had the subtitles turned on, because we often watch BBC shows and some of us find the accents problematic. The subtitles were screwy.

Here’s an example (I’m ferinstancing here):

    I’d like you to meet Detective XXXX Tracy. He’d like a Manhattan XXXXtail.

Honestly, you can’t make this stuff up.

Addendum, Later that Same Evening:

In another Perry Mason that we watched this evening, the word “suspicious” was rendered “suxxxxious.”

The stupid, it burns.
