"Some deaf people prefer interpreters on TV. A few programs, notably Christian and Catholic-oriented ones, feature them in fairly unobtrusive oval 'inserts' in the lower right-hand corner of the screen."--pg. 165, p. 2
On youtube there is a closed captioning feature that is provided purely by technology. If people do not speak very clearly, the captions are mangled nonsense. It is amusing but I can imagine it would be very frustrating if you were trying to use the closed captioning for constructive purposes.
I think it would be a good idea for select showings of all movies in movie theatres to have captions. This way if you find captions distracting you can attend a showing without them, and if you want the captions you have options of captioned showings to choose from.
