Reply #39: Obviously An Accident, But I Don't Expect Some Here To Open Their Minds To That.

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

It is shocking on first view, but upon using some critical thinking skills it becomes fairly obvious it's simply an accident. I say that for a few reasons. First of all, barely anyone uses closed captioning. To find it logical that someone would plot to use the CC system to perpetrate such a thing, in hopes of causing this 'subliminal' tying of obama to osama (as some have claimed) is beyond far fetched. Second of all, take a moment to sit back and think about how quickly the people typing need to do their short type (or whatever the hell it's called) in order to keep up with the spoken word. Are some really trying to hypothesize that in that split second moment, not having any idea what the host was about to say and having only an instantaneous moment in time to type something, that the person doing the captioning came up with this lightning fast evil plot of "hahaha, here's my chance to call Hillary al queda!!! bwahahahaha!!!", followed by instantaneously typing it? C'mon now. Let's use our heads. It was obviously some sort of finger slip or letter combination that caused the short hand for al queda to appear instead of Hillary, as per Magic Rat's explanation in the other thread. That explanation makes LOADS of sense, whereas thinking there was some behind the scenes closed captioning conspiracy by some schmuck in a 3rd party company to denigrate Obama, is all sorts of far fetched when you really think about. Course, I'm also certain some here won't consider reasonable explanations for a second, since in GDP critical thinking skills have kinda gone bye bye for a while.

Occam's Razor people. Occam's razor. Take a moment to think.
