And it seems to be in the right order, too. Read 'em in order...
 
"KTVU can confirm that the source of the unnamed FAA official was indeed a Mr Simpson, Mr. Bart Simpson."
 
:rofl::rofl::rofl: Well, you have to admit her hair was perfect!!! I wish I could say I was surprised at the total lack of professionalism displayed, but in today's media markets this is right on par. :rofl::rofl::rofl: :yes:
 
There may soon be a number of positions open in the "news" department of KTVU. No one with an IQ over 12 need apply.

I don't think I could have stopped myself from busting out laughing if I was reading that on camera. :rofl:

Cheers
 
Many, if not most, local market stations have been ridding themselves of higher priced talent for years, leaving behind less than desirable runner ups.

That "talent" didn't even make the qualifier, much less runner-up.

This smells of a set-up and not a blooper. I guess I shouldn't, but I find it astounding that this kind of prank made it on the air in this day and age (and especially about a tragedy). The comments on deadspin.com are even worse.
 
I can't believe the country is laughing about a racist prank. You should all be ashamed of yourselves.

You're right..:rofl:...but really....:rofl:...I'm laughing at the airhead that READ THIS ON AIR.....:rofl: :rofl: And in my view it's not racist. It implies no detrimental aspects to Koreans, just uses certain characteristics of names to make a funny. Lighten up, Francis.

Heard the plane crashed because Trayvon wasn't in an upright position. That's cool right?
 
It's the nature of Chinese names as they translate into English. I can easily type Won Hung Lo or Long Fat Dong and the censors won't catch it. In fact, it's a good chance those are legitimate names.

Humor has its place even in tragedy, but some attempts at humor merely expose more tragedy. I agree with you that this is one such case.

Telling people they should be ashamed is a futile effort.
 
Asiana is shocked, shocked that someone would portray their incompetent pilots in such a light.

You're assuming the butt of the joke was just the pilots. While growing up I heard jokes about "Pollacks" with the last names deliberately mangled for humor. (I have an uncle who is of Polish descent; my own last name is Romanian.) The jokes might have been triggered by some individual's mistake worthy of derision, but since I sometimes knew the people making the jokes I knew they weren't thinking of insulting just that individual. Their target was the whole group.

So forgive some of us for being skeptical about the intended target.

Anyway, since it shouldn't be that difficult to make humor without being a bone-head, why do it? And why do the equivalent of an Internet high-five over this prank?

Anyway, the count is now 3 dead. Unknown number who are likely to have injuries for the rest of their lives.

The media seems to make a mockery of any sort of airplane incident, seems only fair, if not karma. Besides, we can't dictate what they report, this was the news medias incompetence on display....sweet.

Sorry - I missed that the target of the amusement was ambiguous. So some think it is funny because it shows what a bunch of untrained naive schmucks the news media employs. Others think it is funny because they believe it rightly belittles the pilots who killed several people through incredible incompetence when their professionalism was most needed. And of course there are those who think it is funny because they believe it rightly belittles a culture or race they don't approve of.
