I bought this cable. The captions disappeared!!! True story. I went back to Best Buy and asked about it. They told me that it was a smart HDMI cable. I was surprised about this piece of news so I asked them what they meant by that. They said the cable was smart and could identify that I was a proud Deaf user, so it was swapping out the captions to American Sign Language. They also stated that I did not give it enough time to do it's magic. I did not even believe the news.
Let me start by telling you a bit about the sales person. Let's name him Jack. Jack, who sold this piece of equipment to me, was a worker for my brother at Car Toys where my brother currently manages at. My brother gave me a thumbs up for Jack who works at Best Buy and is a currently an assistant manager there. Jack had no reasons for me to disbelieve him at all.
Daunted, I had to go back home and try the cable again. I hooked it up to my system. I randomly picked the Freddy Got Fingered DVD and slipped it into the Blu-Ray player.
After a few minutes fumbling with the remote I was able to view the movie. It was like nothing else I've seen. All the characters in the movie, even the dead animals, morphed into American Sign Language users! It was also presented in high definition! I had to look outside the window to see reality but only to find that it was Standard Definition compared to the movie. I was absolutely mind blown.
I had to go back to Best Buy and Jack to tell them the news. They were thrilled to hear the news and pointed out the fact I had a wet spot in the groin area. I was that giddy, I guess.
So yeah. This cable is worth twice the every cent on it's price tag. I really recommend it.
BTW:
There was no way in the world that Freddy Got Fingered is rated 4/10 stars. I don't even understand the reviews on this. Completely underrated, imho.
This isn't real is it?
