This is not really a captioning cock-up, rather the opposite, I think. When I first got a TV that did captioning, I of course tried it out. I was watching a movie late one night and discovered that while all the obscenities (and there were many) were being bleeped out of the audio (soooooo irritating), they were intact in the captioning. Apparently deaf people are allowed to be in charge of their own standards.
