Those Spanish subtiteloers are having a laugh

A friend came round last week to watch a DVD and from my unwatched collection we chose 'Y tu mama tambien' which we thought would include some nudity and frolicing. First off there was so much bonking in the first 10 minutes it was like watching porn. Secondly the subtitles were a complete piss take. I sussed this as I understand Spanish and it was just not making any sense to my friend struggling with the subtitles. It felt a bit trippy finding the secret English subtitles created by some joker to confuse the English perhaps. You had people shagging like rabbits while talking about the weirdest stuff. Felt just a tad embarrassed but found it funny all the same that someone actually created them. That DVD was switched for my big current favourite 'The Station Agent'.
