Deaf man sues Pornhub for lack of closed captions (1 Viewer)

TMZ

Can't imagine what the captions would read other than explaining in the beginning that they're only step-siblings.

i thought for sure we woulda had scratch n' sniff capabilities by now 

 

[RUSF18]

Eagerly awaiting this becoming a class action suit when this guy is joined by everyone who watches porn in the bathroom with the sound way down.

Wait until the blind man sues because it caused him to masturbate.

Wait until the blind man sues because it caused him to masturbate.

I can't check now (at work) but I suspect the site is ADA compliant by allowing audio navigation.  I can't comment on the user experience though.

For the record:

4:47 PM PT -- Pornhub's VP, Corey Price, tells TMZ ... "We understand that Yaroslav Suris is suing Pornhub for claiming we’ve denied the deaf and hearing impaired access to our videos. While we do not generally comment on active lawsuits, we’d like to take this opportunity to point out that we do have a closed captions category."

I thought that stuff made you go blind, not deaf.

He obviously used the wrong hand.

Yeah, I was gonna say, they're there.  Stumbled upon them once by accident*.  Was very confused until I read the 'category' tag.

*For research purposes only.

 

[General Malaise]

Really feel like instead of closed captions they should have employed nude models to deliver sign language off in a corner.

Using the mouse left handed is an iffy proposition.

Naked Garret Morris? 

 

[wikkidpissah]

Naked Garret Morris? 

name of my Blues Brothers tribute band ("?" included)

 

[That one guy]

Oh man, new genre for pr0n (that probably already exists) for me to break into the world of cinema:  corny Charlie Chaplin style silent movies

 

[Arizona Ron]

"I'm ready when you are" [sound of live trout being beaten with newspaper] "more more" 

"Now give me daddy's favorite gift" [gets under glass coffee table]

[sound of entire crock pot full of pot roast being poured onto table]

- end scene

What are the odds that pornhub set this up for publicity?  Brilliant if so.  Best lawsuit ever.

 

[Osaurus]

No way a judge will see his point

If they explain it I hope we get the whole story for free and we don't have to pay extra for the full length version.

 

[DallasDMac]

Oddly enough, I have managed to follow the plot of Pornhub videos with the sound completely off and no captions. I must be some kind of savant or something.

 

[The Kerminator]

What is pornhub? Never heard of it.

 

[-OZ-]

There's sound? 

I mean, what's pornhub? 

 

[elbowrm]

How does this dude know when his wife is coming in the room?

reminds me of the joke “what’s a husband’s most sensitive body part when he’s jerking off?”

his ears

 

[bicycle_seat_sniffer]

he cant hear the JOI......

 

[Wrigley]

I think they'll beat it

 

[gianmarco]

I think they'll beat it

You'd think so, but that's the rub. They still need to handle it just like any other case.

 

[zamboni]

I feel even more bad for the guy that he can’t enjoy the great music.

Ok boomer

No way a judge will see his point 

But at least he'll hear oral arguments first.

"Baby, soak my walls!"

Or follow the plot

 

[ClownCausedChaos2]

How does someone closed caption the sound of a hand getting stuck in a garbage disposal?

 

[DallasDMac]

Try setting your phone notification/ringtone to the "pornhub logo" sound/beats that play at the start of every video. Then when your phone goes off look around and see who recognizes the sound. 

Pornhub has theme music??? Man, maybe one day...

 

[joffer]

I only watch for the articles

 

[AAABatteries]

Can one sue for tennis elbow?

That’s got to be some kind of awkward when Corey’s son brings his dad to career day at school.

That’s got to be some kind of awkward when Corey’s son brings his dad to career day at school.

Not quite as awkward as "Bring (That's Someone's) Daughter to Work Day".
