11/22/08 = 21 YEARS SINCE THIS HIJACK NOTE: Please do not rip this and then re-upload it to YouTube. It really makes no sense to have copies of the same exact video on here. I put alot of editing into making this translation video, so if I see it's been reposted by someone I will report it to YouTube. -------------------------------------------- Original video provided by FuzzyMemoriesTV In 1987, Chicago TV channels WGN9 and WTTW-11 were hijacked by this guy wearing a Max Headroom mask. 20 years later, he is still at large. This is a subtitled version of the original footage, since many people cannot tell what he's saying, this makes it easier. EDIT: Thanks to a new video with the audio cleaned up, I've found out that he is indeed saying "I still see the X". And the person with the flyswatter is the one who said "Bend over Bitch". http://www.hack247.co.uk/2008/01/06/max-headroom-1987-pirate-tv-incident/

This is the **Original Upload** - now with an Improved Quality! During a broadcast of the Dr. Who episode "Horror of Fang Rock" on WTTW Chicago Channel 11, on Sunday November 22nd, 1987, at around 11:15pm, a Video "Pirate" wearing a Max Headroom mask broke into the signal and transmitted one of the weirdest, unauthorized things ever to hit the Chicago airwaves. Earlier in the evening on the same day, during the Nine O'Clock News on Channel 9 (Yes, a completely different channel) the Max Headroom Pirate also broke in - although it was for a much shorter time and there was no audio. Needless to say, Dan Rohn (the sports reporter) was a bit flustered. And no, he was never caught. My Take: The guy was probably high and/or drunk. Even with the audio distortion, his ramblings don't make much sense. Here's what I am able to make out: "He's a freaky nerd!" "This guy's better than Chuck Swirsky." [another WGN sportscaster at the time] "Oh Jesus!" "Catch the wave..." [reference to a Coke commercial at the time of which Max Headroom was a spokesperson] "Your love is fading..." "I stole CBS." "Oh, I just made a giant masterpiece printed all over the greatest world newspaper nerds." [??] "My brother [mother?] is wearing the other one." "It's dirty..." "They're coming to get me..." (Note also that he appears to be wearing a [rude word deleted] on his middle finger.)
