Well Played, Sir.

This clip might just replace the Sue Simmons F Bomb on the air as my favorite inappropriate use of the F word in a New York City metro news cast-watch particularly for the female anchor's expression near the end of the clip.)

(The Sue Simmons clip, in case you've never seen it...)

So what do you as the captioner do when someone drops an F Bomb like that on the air?

[stenodork.livejournal.com]

it depends what channel it is and who you work for, but generally for broadcast tv (vs cable) you'd write [BLEEP] or [EXPLETIVE].
if the channel is okay with bad words, you write them.

Ahh yes. That Sue Simmons one is classic and amazing. It's the PASSION with which she says the word fuck that makes it so great to me.

Did that guy say FUCKING that chicken, or PLUCKING that chicken?
