Is this real? And they let this air as is? I'm about to have a fit over here, fucking racist assholes. Not only as an Asian American but also out of respect for those who have lost their lives during the accident. I find the whole gag to be very distasteful and extremely offensive.

By the way the apology link doesn't work.

Holy fuck, you're right. And here's a working apology (but you won't get mine -- ever): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BFDwgJa7JOI

Adding video to channels (Asia, Travel) - requested by ant.

no disrespect, but pranksters are everywhere. i think this speaks more to the stupidity of those entrusted to inform us of things.

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag.(show it anyway)

I just don't see how this makes it on the air. 2 seconds of reading and I got the joke. The whole Dum Fuk family should be fired.

Here's a backup source:

Obviously streamed directly to the PC whereas this was recorded via a cellphone or something.

NTSB confirms the summer intern is being thrown under the bus (even that sounds wrong).

If I was a White-Korean living in Korea and I saw jokes like this but with English-like names with different meanings in Korean, I'd think it was pretty funny.

You might have missed my hidden joke... there's no such thing as a "White-Korean," only "foreigners"!

No Asian countries accept people of other ethnicities the way Western nations do.

The "racism" claim about this video seems a bit much.

That's Fa King hilarious.

This kind of *absurd humor makes me LMFAHS.

[edit]
In light of @legacy0100's comment, I totally agree it's in awful, poor taste, but out of context, just considering the absurdity that those names were printed and read on air is too funny.

Yeah, no doubt the joke is offensive, but it is also pretty hilarious--I laughed so hard I cried. I have no idea how that newscaster was able to read the teleprompter with a straight face.

Those names sound like a Looney Tunes-inspired summary of the accident...

I suppose what's really interesting is the desperation to be the first with news, any news and screw the application of commonsense and proper journalistic standards.

Poor taste? Sure, considering it's about a tragedy. Racist? Not much more so than Seymour Butz or Amanda Hugginkiss.

Like Ron Burgundy, they'll read ANYTHING you put on the teleprompter.

reminds me of Colbert...

In total bad taste and hilarious. Keep it classy KTVU, and keep f*cking that chicken.

"Ha, those asian races that are all racists, unlike us!"
Please kindly go fuck yourself ^__^

That's because you are talking about America which is 99% made up of immigrants in the first place. There's no such thing as an American ethnicity. America is a melting pot of different cultures and Asians are an inherent part of America. That's why you can't have a white Korean but you can have a Korean-American.

Also, your hidden joke sucks.

That's fine if you want "Asia for Asians." But liberals would say that's a "nativist" and a "racist" position. That's why liberals screwed up their own nations by importing tens of millions of people with lower academic scores than themselves.


There are "Asian-English" who are regarded as fully English, but Asia won't allow "English-Asians."

So it seems you're holding other nations to standards you don't actually believe in. (And I'd support you in your beliefs.)

Are you admitting there are "Asian-English" but Asia won't allow "English-Asians"?

Good. So you're a nativist.

That's fine, just don't let "Western liberalism" spread in your country, or they'll ruin it the way they dumbed down Western nations.
