This is the **Original Upload**. The Museum of Classic Chicago Television (www.FuzzyMemories.TV) was the first to upload this bit of freaky Chicago TV history to YouTube in 2006 under our former account name. Visit the main site for more discussion and analysis of this oddity.
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.)

On a late-November evening in 1987, two Chicago television stations were victims of a broadcast signal intrusion.
After a brief intrusion during the sports report on WGN's 9:00 news, a later broadcast on channel 11 - PBS affiliate: WTTW - of the Doctor Who episode "Horror of Fang Rock" was interrupted by a man wearing a Max Headroom mask. The crazed person uttered mostly gibberish, crudely slammed the Chicago Tribune and its subsidiaries (WGN being one of them), and finally dropped his pants and was spanked by what appears to be a child with a flyswatter. 90-seconds later, the program returned to normal. To this day, he has never been caught.
This was originally uploaded by the user "fuzzymemories" (now FuzzyMemoriesTV) in 2006. Please support the Museum of Classic Chicago Television!
I added the subtitles as a courtesy a few months later. Since then, better-quality copies of this have surfaced (such as this one: http://www.fuzzymemories.tv/index.php?c=59&m;=max%20headroom%20pirate). Eventually I may add extra annotations or whatever, but I think you get the idea with this one. Also, this Reddit post is worth a read even though there's no way to verify it: http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/eeb6e/i_believe_i_know_who_was_behind_the_max_headroom/
Also, stop re-uploading this subtitled edit to your own channel for numbers. Having two of the same video on YouTube is totally pointless; do something original, for once...
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".

Here's another of the promotional "image spots" for WTTW Channel 11 created by veteran Emmy-award-winning producer Rick Kotrba. There were a number of these; this is one example - set to the tune of "Great Balls of Fire" by Jerry Lee Lewis and features images from a number of WTTW programs at the time including Barney & Friends, Nature, Mr. Roger's Neighborhood and more shows than I feel like listing at this time. :-)
The Window To The World image campaign, of which this is an example, won a local Emmy during the 1996-1997 season for Outstanding Achievement in the category of Announcements / Campaigns.
I'll post more of these over time - they were all very good.
This was produced and aired in 1995.

WTTW
WTTW, virtual channel 11 (UHF digital channel 47), is a PBS member television station and the primary PBS member station located in Chicago, Illinois, United States. The station is owned by not-for-profit broadcasting entity Window to the World Communications, Inc., and is sister to classical music radio station WFMT (98.7 FM). The two stations share studio facilities located at the Renée Crown Public Media Center on North Saint Louis Avenue (adjacent to Northeastern Illinois University) in the city's North Park neighborhood; WTTW maintains transmitter facilities located atop the Willis Tower on South Wacker Drive in the Chicago Loop. It also owns and operates The Chicago Production Center, a video production and editing facility that is operated alongside the two stations.
Serving as the local flagship outlet for the service, it is one of three PBS member stations in the Chicago market, alongside WYCC (channel 20) and Gary, Indiana-licensed WYIN (channel 56). WTTW, along with Wisconsin Public Television flagship station WHA-TV in Madison, Wisconsin, serve as default PBS member stations for Rockford as that market does not have a PBS station of its own; both stations are available in that market on local cable providers.

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.

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.)

On a late-November evening in 1987, two Chicago television stations were victims of a broadcast signal intrusion.
After a brief intrusion during the sports report on WGN's 9:00 news, a later broadcast on channel 11 - PBS affiliate: WTTW - of the Doctor Who episode "Horror of Fang Rock" was interrupted by a man wearing a Max Headroom mask. The crazed person uttered mostly gibberish, crudely slammed the Chicago Tribune and its subsidiaries (WGN being one of them), and finally dropped his pants and was spanked by what appears to be a child with a flyswatter. 90-seconds later, the program returned to normal. To this day, he has never been caught.
This was originally uploaded by the user "fuzzymemories" (now FuzzyMemoriesTV) in 2006. Please support the Museum of Classic Chicago Television!
I added the subtitles as a courtesy a few months later. Since then, better-quality copies of this have surfaced (such as this one: http://www.fuzzymemories.tv/index.php?c=59&m;=max%20headroom%20pirate). Eventually I may add extra annotations or whatever, but I think you get the idea with this one. Also, this Reddit post is worth a read even though there's no way to verify it: http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/eeb6e/i_believe_i_know_who_was_behind_the_max_headroom/
Also, stop re-uploading this subtitled edit to your own channel for numbers. Having two of the same video on YouTube is totally pointless; do something original, for once...
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".

Here's another of the promotional "image spots" for WTTW Channel 11 created by veteran Emmy-award-winning producer Rick Kotrba. There were a number of these; this is one example - set to the tune of "Great Balls of Fire" by Jerry Lee Lewis and features images from a number of WTTW programs at the time including Barney & Friends, Nature, Mr. Roger's Neighborhood and more shows than I feel like listing at this time. :-)
The Window To The World image campaign, of which this is an example, won a local Emmy during the 1996-1997 season for Outstanding Achievement in the category of Announcements / Campaigns.
I'll post more of these over time - they were all very good.
This was produced and aired in 1995.

Look at this little nigga, man

Yeah shawty, what's happenin'?
Ay man can you give me a ride home, man?
Man, it's 2:30 in the muthafuckin' mornin', what the fuck you doin' out here?
Out here trappin' tryna get rid of this bomb and purp, man
Man you can come with me on one condition
What's that bruh?
Let me convince you to put that bomb down
I knew it T.I.
What?
You wasn't really on that dope boy shit
I tell you what shawty, get in man
I'll show you how to tote that tool
Make that double
Better be cool, you don't want no trouble
Keep it leanin' to the left
My gat stay cocked
I'm always super clean when you see me on the block
Keep my money in a knot with a rubberband on it
Blow to marijuana, know I got it if you want it
See me standin' on the corner, slangin' that crack
You know how it is to be the man in trap
I'm the dopeman nigga the dopeman nigga the dope the dope dope the dopeman nigga
I'm the dopeman nigga the dopeman nigga the dope the dopeman the dopeman nigga
I'm the dopeman nigga the dopeman nigga the dope the dope dope the dopeman nigga
I'm the dopeman nigga the dopeman nigga (From a ki' to a G, it's all about money)
Look, bet all you see is tats, money, grills, and chains
But if you scratch the surface you can feel the pain
Names change but the situation still the same
The bills need payin' nigga simple and plain
Take a young'n who's aspirin' to get him some change
Won't nobody hire him so he get in the game
Went and bought a 50 slab, divide it up into ten
Sold 'em all, double down, did it again
By then you got enough to buy a quarter ounce
You sellin' dimes to forty fiends buy it and bounce
Throw some money to your momma keep some food in the house
Cop the outfit and the Jordans on the day they came out
Betta get ya self a pistol know the jackers is out
Flip another seven grams, oh you hustlin' now
Time to get yourself a half, make sure it's some glass
A hundred bags sell it fast stack a G now you officially
(I betcha think you pretty good at it now, huh?)
Now once you flipped a couple o's know the game get gravy
Take twelve fifty go git ya two and a baby
Yeah sixty three grams if you whip that right
you should get back five or six that night Stack that money and repeat that twice
Buy you somethin' to ride in, ya gotta be tight
Next time you buy somethin' take twenty-five hundred
Get four and a half it come back in nine don't it
Now stay low key when the money keep comin'
Keep some niggas on ya team to show these suckas they don't want it
By then your connect will clearly see you on ya grind
Shit you come to get a nine and he front you what you buyin'
As long as you bring back your money on time
And if you snort blow, do it on your own time
At this rate you'll be at a brick in no time
They say the want some weight, tell them niggas stand in line
(Stay with me now shawty, here comes the fun part)
Now the robbers plottin' on ya and your name stay buzzin'
You caught a sale case down in Macon with your cousin
Your connect ain't worried, you and him cool
He know you'll never tell what you and him do
A mob of a hundred just a few of them true
You heard a worker snictchin' on you and it's true
Everybody know you sell that shit
The feds come and get ya, shit we heard you
Tote that tool, make that double
Better be cool, you don't want no trouble
Keep it leanin' to the left, my gat stay cocked
I'm always super clean when you see me on the block
Keep my money in a knot with a rubberband on it
Blow that marijuana know I got it if you want it
