Holy FUCK I would have been scared shitless to see that at first. That looked like an albino Ray Charles.

I've seen video of that before. That would have freaked me out to see that pop up in the middle of a TV program.

 

When it comes to video hackery, nothing tops the guy who hacked HBO's signal in the early 80s. Captain Midnight was his name I think.

This is one of the most inscrutable things I've ever come across on this board. It's so random.

Well Captain Midnight had access to powerful equipmen by working for another pay-per-view service and he was caught. The Max Headroom guys never got caught and nobody, to this day, knows how they got the powerful equipment they needed to hack the signal.
