CC drives me crazy. I find it so incredibly distracting that I'll wind up reading it instead of watching the movie.
I ONLY use it when necessary (as Urge said - foreign films only; and I hate dubbing so I choose subtitles over voiceovers).
We had a broken VCR once that was jammed with the "aid for the visually impaired" on. Everything we taped with it would have the "visually impaired" aid on, meaning that as you were watching taped program, this indifferent, innocuous voice would explain to you what was happening as it appeared on screen.
Takes the fun out of the Simpsons, let me tell you ("The governor unravels the flag - It's the fart flag" - a cookie to whomever can guess the episode reference).
