What are they trying to say?
I think it’s “evacuating”
im fairly certain they either made a mistake or the subtiter is a complete moron and probably got fired or laughed at for that.
subtitler was probably stoned as am i
photoshoped
prove it.
the reflections are all wrong.
but its a 17th century heirloom
Actually, it’s 19th, but xkcd win.

The reflections are all wrong because the surface of the freaking TV is curved….. lol

I read that five times and I still don’t get it.
EJACULATING=cumming
Evacuating is what they meant to say…
It burns when I evacuate.
no16 wins “fantastic english ability award”
congratulations squire
@12,
its ment to be : “people in the middle of the road evacuating” not ejaculating =.=
No, i think it was right, they were just trying to put out the fire.
I got a ticket for that once………I think the cop was gay. he helped me evacuate…Then gave me a ticket
oooh, naughty. are you gay? like, it would’ve been awkward if you weren’t…
oh my
In response to Captain Obvious…Its okay Evil Carbon, I still heart you.

Hi. I’m a court reporter. That miswritten word was a result of the court reporter’s error when she mistroked the word on her stenotype machine.

Hey, I’m almost deaf. I need to use captioning all the time.
Believe me, this is typical. Makes the world even more amusing….
you guys are CLEARLY EDUCATED… not really
Ejaculated in this context means loud/frantic/uncontrollable panic.
So heres to all you R-Tards
FAIL!!!!!!!
Firefighter…not just people….ejaculating?
Actually anonymous, you’re wrong. Plus, even if it does have a meaning, what’s the first one to come to mind?
SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO DUMB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Live closed captioning is done by computer voice recognition. “Evacuating” sounds like “ejaculating”, especially if mumbled, low volume, other noises, radio phone-in, etc.
Or plain old stupidity on the part of the recognition software, which is not perfect.
firemen are scary
evil carbon is a big fat douche, I agree!!!!
I love this site =)
That is not photo shopped, to be truthful I’ve seen that a few times with the news. They have a person typing it live and the word was supposed to be evacuation.
Who cares if there’s a fire, when you get the opportunity to have a circlejerk you have to go with it.
were there any girls at the scene?
I FUKIN LOLD!!!!
Ejaculate has multiple meanings, one of which is to speak loudly without much thought, as it’s used in… Huck finn, I think.
I doubt firemen are trained to deal with that…
“Sir, please put your pants back on. I’m trying to put this fire out!”
roflmao
#24 = Linking FAIL
Its just a side effect of global warming!
their just trying to help the firemen…
Maybe photoshopped or not. But I am deaf, and can testify some closed captions look like typed by chimpanzee on mescaline.
I wish I had taken a picture the night my tv closed captioning turned crocodiles into cockdials. Granted it was late… Darn Stephen Colbert for keeping the caption people up late!
that fire must have been sexy…
Ummmmm,lol, this is funny
wow, lol… Sometimes those captions can be a bit off.
a BIT!? I beg to differ. One letter changed the effort of people to get OUT into the effort of people to get OFF.
This reminds me of an epic closed captioning fail I saw. It was a Ford truck commercial and the captioning read as follows:
“It’s like grabbing your penis, which every man does every once in a while. Get ready for some lactating goodness!”
And I was all, “O_________O”. It was a local channel, I have no clue how that happened.
I happen to be deaf and I also happen to be exposed to the techniques used in captioning. They use stenographers and some mechanism in which usage of keys or combinations of keys represent sounds people make, which are combined into words. People’s names sometimes appear as other words, for example, but this fail pic is a pretty lulzy example.
I can see how people standing in the middle of the street ejaculating could cause a problem for fire fighters
LOL
Close captioning goofs like this are rather common, actually. Just turn on any newscast and switch on the closed captioning on your remote and watch for a few minutes.
I remember in English class a long time ago reading in a Shakespeare play “he ejaculated”, meaning “called out/yelled”, but of course being an American 17 year old at the time I couldn’t help but giggle at the sophomoric double entendre….
How do I shot web?
It was probably pretty hot next to the fire, maybe people were stripping down to keep cool and things just got out of hand from there. Understandable emergency i’m not too surprised.
Pyrophiles are a big problem for fire fighters.
Ejaculate also means “blurt out: utter impulsively”. So. Maybe people were yelling in the streets?
Poor deaf people. LOL
