We’ve had a ton of fun and garnered a mountain of feedback while compiling the best buyer’s guide for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing  here at The Caption Hunt! Read on below and check out the most recent Caption Call - our review of the commercials and advertisements featured inside of  the first week of SPIKE’s “The Ultimate Fighter: Heavyweights!”

We were horrified to see the final numbers of commercials and advertisements that were closed captioned in this program. It’s never been more clear to us just how important the mission is here at The 2GuysTalking Caption Hunt Project. Read on below for the details and - prepare - it is ugly. Be sure to read our weekly review of this same show over at SavageScience.Com as well and remember to tell us which companies YOU see that are offering up closed captioning in their advertisements - AND those that aren’t.
