If you’re half deaf from a lifetime spent in factories and use closed captioning you get to see WeTV censor closed captioning using a computer. You’ll see a sound described as “gun xxxxing” . Yes, they replace the word “cocking” with “xxxxing” which seems way dirtier than the original. Yes, but the important thing is that no one is offended! 🥺 ---

> [@Hypno-Toad](#): > > Apparently, ZAZ wanted a prop plane but the studio insisted on a jet. So they retaliated by putting the prop sound in. probably because the film they were spoofing (Zero Hour!) “starred” a DC-4 prop airliner. “I haven’t seen anything like this since the Anita Bryant concert.” ---

There’s no reason to become alarmed, and we hope you enjoy the rest of your flight. By the way, is there anyone on board who knows how to fly a plane? ---

I found his Facebook page. He’s Swedish and though there’s no birth year listed, based on his education, I’m guessing he was born around 1990-95. So he’s younger than _Airplane!_ ---
