@th I did not even know about it🙂 Nor about the venerable Max Headroom

@th This thing is still puzzling a lot of people,a nd i kinda like that about it

@th 20 minutes into the future.

@th wow, for some reason I was thinking about this yesterday, I cannot believe I have that ingrained in my head… as I never really lived the incident, but just read about it!

@th amazing TV-show.

@th annoying that the actual series is all caught in IP rights limbo, so you can only get it by donning a tricorn hat

@th

As of this moment I am 20 minutes into the future.

@th Thankfully YouTube hasn't quite given us blipverts. Or they are really good at squashing stories of exploding heads.

@th one of the greatest events of all time

@th Not exactly.but stillwanting to know who the fuck did that!

@th Than, tha, thanks...

@th

It was DB Cooper in a max headroom mask.

The actor Michael Anderson told me, backwards of course

@th holy shit, as somebody who is way too invested in the very specific subsubculture of 全てあなたの所為です。 and its imitations, it is very embarrassing to admit that i only now thanks to this post found out that the ending of ... (https://youtu.be/5ElUbVXCk0I?t=233) was referencing something 😳

@th Where has this hero gone we so desperately need

@th It was weird to see that same actor in Star Trek TNG in the 90's as a time traveling con man. I couldn't unsee Max Headroom.

@th

Closer to the beginning of the Korean War than it is to today.

@th
I had a Max Headroom watch I ordered off a thing of Coke or Pepsi

@th Just a great series. As a kid I really believed that he was CGI
