Comments on: Remember, Remember the 22nd of November http://www.damninteresting.com/remember-remember-the-22nd-of-november/ A collection of legitimately fascinating information culled from the past, present, and anticipated future. Tue, 22 May 2012 01:30:14 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.2 By: Panther in the Den http://www.damninteresting.com/remember-remember-the-22nd-of-november/#comment-25473 Panther in the Den Mon, 09 Nov 2009 16:15:19 +0000 http://www.damninteresting.com/?p=776#comment-25473 I happened to be watching and recording the Dr Who episode when this event happened. What a trip! :) RE: Post #73 - Translation by Malregarbitation on 17 February 2007 at 07:13 am I completely agree with their translation with the exception as noted at the bottom... “I still see the X…” (There’s a CC episode titled “The Big X”) - This is the correct translation. Especially after him humming the Clutch Cargo theme. "The Big X" was the final series of the Clutch Cargo cartoons. He was lamenting the loss of the series. “Haaaa… ohhhhhhh, my piles!” (i.e., hemorrhoids) - Often described as unintelligible (I thought it was pretty clear) this translation makes sense with him gyrating from side to side and moaning. It also goes along with his next phrase. “Oh I just laid a giant master keister all over the greatest world newspaper nerds!” - Here I would have the translation read "masterpiece" in stead of "master keister". I believe this was the last pirate hijack of a broadcast network TV signal. I happened to be watching and recording the Dr Who episode when this event happened. What a trip! :)

“Oh I just laid a giant master keister all over the greatest world newspaper nerds!”

Since Digital can't be picked up by Analog, and Analog can't be picked up by Digital, all someone needs to do is slap a transmitter onto a communications tower somewhere and bam, we've got pirate television.

So with the whole Digital Transition of TV almost upon us, is it pretty much impossible for this to be replicated? What about now, since some people still have analog, could it be done? I rarely watch TV, but if creepy intriguing stuff like this was happening all the time, you can bet I'd be glued to it 24/7.

But wouldn't it have been so much funnier if he dressed up like Dr. Who and acted out the rest of the show in a cut up way with a cut up script? Have the characters act totally out of character ya know. It might have taken some people a minute to realize that this was not really the show. That’s super awesome that this was done.

It's strange that nobody that was involved has ever come forward, I'm sure the statutes of limitation have run out long ago. Then again I guess it's more fun and mysterious wondering who it may have been. This is quite a remarkable event from the 80s.
