A video from TV station KTVU in the San Francisco bay area has gone viral, following a news broadcast which declared the names of the pilots involved in the crash of Flight 214 as:
– Sum Ting Wong
– Wi Tu Lo
– Ho Lee Fuk
– Bang Ding Ow
The brilliant part of the video is that not only did the on-air staff read the names in an entirely serious fashion, the station displayed the names on screen for numerous seconds.
Whereas I normally say that “you can’t write material like this” — apparently you can.
That is why God created editors. Or in this case: not so much.

P.S.
Now that I am at home, I can post the full video below:
So wrong. So funny. Yeah, sure, trust the MSM to get the news right.
KTVU didn’t just screw the pooch, they doubled down with graphics.

Wonder if “Chinatown” finds it funny.
I wouldn’t eat there for awhile!
Since the station is in San Francisco I am not surprised this happened. Liberal brains just don’t work very well.
I’m sure their GOWPedness got in the way — they didn’t want to be “judgmental” of names that seemed too odd to them.
And THAT’S how stupid GOWPs are.

Teh stupidity, it BURNS…
And shames.

I’ll bet they had just 1 conservative working there that slipped that in as a joke and NONE of the libbers dared to doubt the authenticity of the names, or even noticed a probable problem. If I am correct, CONGRATULATIONS to the conservative that did it!!!
“NONE of the libbers dared to doubt the authenticity of the names, or even noticed a probable problem.”

HO LEE FUK was especially funny! Notice the broad wouldn’t even pronounce it the way most people would have.
