I love Malaysian television
They have English subtitles sometimes for English programs. They're not just closed captioning though. They're like an English translation of the English being spoken on the television. The written words are the same basic gist as that which is being spoken, but that change some of the words and the sentence structure. I know subtitles are sometimes not an exact translation, but I've never seen someone translate from one language into the same language before. It's slightly strange but oh so interesting.
For example:
Spoken-- "Let's see what they've created"
Written-- "Let's check out what they have come up with"

Dichotomy. That is all.

I generally think this is hilarious. Watching TV in China or movies in China with English subtitles ( and even English dubbing - also hysterical ) was awesome. Like the DVD we got of Finding Nemo - there is a scene where the English subtitles are all just random nouns.

I mean...I work in publishing and we have a half dozen options for what sort of English we're using in our books. Sometimes we 'translate' from English to English too--it's pretty entertaining.
But I imagine that seeing it and hearing it at the same time, as you are on TV, would be a pretty hilarious juxtaposition.
