TV station falls for racist prank: Misreports Asiana pilot names as ‘Sum Ting Wong’ and ‘Ho Lee Fuk’


 
KTVU in Oakland fell victim to a Bart Simpson-ish racist prank today when they read aloud four purportedly “confirmed” names of those piloting Asiana Flight 214, the 777 that crash-landed at SFO over the weekend. The station has since apologized for this error…

As YouTube wag Christopher Grieb put it:

Well, this much is clear; Sum Dik Wad, from KTVU, will be spending a lot of time at the unemployment office next week…

 

 
Thank you kindly, Syd Garon!
