During a broadcast about the Chinese New Year, which started on Friday, the BBC's subtitle system misquoted the "year of the horse" and replaced it with "year of the whores" which of course should be quite a year!
According to the Independent, this isn't the first time the BBC's subtitles have had somewhat of a malfunction, the Archbishop of Canterbury has been referred to as the “Arch bitch of Canterbury”, while during coverage of the Queen Mother’s funeral there was a call for “a moment’s violence”.
