|    2010 Taurus SHO segment    |

      From: drew.c@verizonSPAMBEGONE.net              This was one of the better remotes I've seen in a while. Letting Conan play       with gee-whiz technology is a proven formula, and the fact that the person       showing him the car was an attractive woman added the dynamic of Conan       overcompensating for his masculine insecurity (e.g., the       flexing-while-revving-the-engine part).              Anyway, I thought I'd break this newsgroup's radio silence to point out       something odd I noticed in the closed captions for this segment.       Apparently, a few seconds of footage were cut from the segment after it had       been captioned but before it aired, yet the captions were left in, so some       "bonus" captions aired despite the lack of video to match up with them.              Here are the extra captions, which come about 2 1/2 minutes into the       segment, after Amy shows Conan the touchscreen and Conan asks whether cars       are getting too "smart":              Amy: You don't want to take too much control away from the driver.              Conan: Right.              Amy: The driver needs to be in control. But you want to help the driver.              Conan: Actually, there are drivers, like my father, for example -- the car       should take over for my father. We just keep pulling mailboxes out of the       grill. And once, a mailman.              Amy: That's not good.              Conan: He's going to be fine. I mean, when he wakes up.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
