closed-captioning for pornography

make it accessible to everyone

(+1, -4)

it occurred to me over the weekend that pornography without sound just isn't the same, so why not add closed-captioning so that those of us who are hearing-impaired can get an idea of what's being said? i think it would add so much more to the experience.

similarly this could be extended to descriptive television for the visually impaired. descriptive television involves having a narrator describe all the action that is happening on the screen. once again, this would add another dimension to an activity that previously had been inaccessible.

Short name, e.g., Bob's Coffee

Destination URL. E.g., https://www.coffee.com/

Description (displayed with the short name and URL.)

All you need is a clear vinyl sticker with "Uh! Uh! Uh! Oh Yeah!" to place across the bottom edge of the screen. This covers all of the relevant dialog in any porn movie.

As for descriptive television (in general), what's the point of a video if the user can't see the picture well enough to see what's happening?

Yes, because we all know that the most important part of porn is the dialogue.

"Uh uh uh ah uh uhuh ah yes uhuh ah uhuh yes uhuh uhuh yes yes YES YES YES"
