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!!!

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