minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish14•1 year agoI think you’re confusing Max Headroom with the “Max Headroom signal hijacking incident” Max Headroom was a real character who was used in TV shows and commercials, etc. The Max Headroom signal hijacking incident was where someone hijacked a broadcast in Chicago with a video of someone dressed up as Max Headroom.
