    On the 22nd of November 1987, two Chicago TV stations were hijacked by an unknown individual wearing a Max Headroom mask, first on WGN TV during the 9pm newscast and later on WTTW during Doctor Who at 11pm. The individual spoke in garbled audio and seemed to be dissing radio announcer Chuck Swirsky, singing random songs, making fun of WGN, and ending the video being spanked by a French maid with a flyswatter. An official FCC and FBI investigation took place, but they still remain a mystery.
