I apologize for my local news station..."epic fail" is far too lenient....

With regards to the SFO crash landing, a local news station, KTVU/Oakland/San Francisco, at noon today broadcast the four pilots names from South Korea that flew the doomed Boeing 777. Amazing.    And funny as hell.

Just goes to show these news stations are staffed by drones, totally vacuous friggin drones.

I have heard all of the Bart Simpson prank call names announced while walking through SFO...

[stripedelete]

Thank god there are still funny people in the world!

[Supercharged Riot]

that prank was not funny. racist and highly insensitive about someone else's death.

[polywideblock]

that would depend on how politically correct you are . some things are just funny ,right or wrong

[twodko]

I just copied/sent this original post to the guy I bought my R/T from. He was a live truck engineer at KTVU for a few years. I'm sure he hasn't heard about this yet otherwise he would have called me screaming a blue streak about those knuckleheads.

I'm waiting for the call......

[stripedelete]

Heads up MLK.  The humor is in "outing" the morons in the media.

[JB400]

I will agree that it was a little insensitive to the 3 people that died and to those injured, but, it was funny

[Indygenerallee]

Racist..... please.... it was funny as all getout!! anyone that get's their panties in a wad over something like this need to go get laid!! and enjoy living.. people die everyday (you will to one day!!) grow up!!

[Fred]

What a sad miserable place it would be if we didn't get to laugh at least once a day.
Laughing is what gets us through.

I've just had to have my dog put down. What a bloody sad day. But you what.........we thought about some of the funny things he did and we had a good laugh. No reason you can't have a good laugh even when life's being a bitch.

[BB1]

Watched it again... Still funny as Hell! 

[John_Kunkel]

Like the song said..."the bubble-headed bleach-blond comes on at five"...........

[nvrbdn]

[Baldwinvette77]

Sorry to hear about your buddy Fred.  But, glad to hear that the memories are more about how much fun your dog was throughout his and yours life  then the last moments.

You got a point there fred
Technically it was funny in the way that the new station didnt do any quality check of its news material before publishing it to the world.
