    Pranked TV Station Reports “Ho Lee Fuk,” “Wi Tu Lo” As SF Crash Pilots

    Pranked TV Station Reports “Ho Lee Fuk,” “Wi Tu Lo” As SF Crash Pilots

    Bay Area Fox affiliate KTVU purportedly learned the names of the flight crew of Asiana flight 214, which crashed last Saturday at San Francisco International Airport, killing two. These—"Sum Ting Wong," "Wi Tu Lo," "Ho Lee Fuk," and "Bang Ding Ow"—are not their names. The newscaster's credulous reading puts it over the top.
    This aired just after noon, local time. Via Gawker, the station read a statement later in the broadcast:
    Earlier in the newscast we gave some names of pilots involved in the Asiana Airlines crash. These names were not accurate despite an NTSB official in Washington confirming them late this morning. We apologize for the error.

    Hilarious! Even more so since it actually was read as a serious story on the news in our nations 4th largest TV market (SF/Oakland)! And now Asiana has wind of it and is looking to sure the station and the NTSB. If this skit was put on SNL the cast would nix it for being too corny, yet it actually made the air as a real story! You gotta love it!

    Definitely funny


    Just seems a bit odd that they would give out the names of the pilots in the first place. When do you ever see that?

    its kind of their fault though, for having fuked up names to begin with

    i mean look, if your whole fukin country is named ching chong dong ching wang tong ming, then yeah your gonna get people fukin making fun of you on the national stage

    you dont want to get made fun of? have normal names

    you want to keep your freaky weird-a*s names? dont complain when people make fun of you

    common sense

    Those names are about as racially slanderous as someone named Jack Mehoff or Willy Phister.

    It was funny as hell when reading the names, but having a serious news caster say it, had me rolling.

    Nice.
    Opie and Anthony did a 15 minute bit this morning on this.
    Can't believe they fell for the oldest third grade prank in the book.
    Even a third grader doesn't fall for that.
