Korean TV evens the score

[Warpy]

and yes, we definitely had it coming:

You probably remember KTVU’s royal eff up with reading obviously fake Asian names for the pilots of the Asiana crash. Names like “Wi To Lo” and “Ho Lee Fuk”.

It looks like a Korean news agency is having some fun at KTVU’s expense. After the landing gear failure of the Southwest flight at LGA they showed this graphic with American pilot names “Captain Kent Parker Wright”, “Co-Captain Wyatt Wooden Workman”.

They even went as far as making up fake names for people to interview. Flight instructor “Heywood U. Flye-Moore” and skeptical passenger “Macy Lawyers”.

Well played Korean TV, well played.

4. It shocks me a bit they'd have that kind of sense of humor

But then again it maybe people who have more experience with traveling abroad. KTVU did screw up pretty bad by publishing those names. As I said before, it goes to one of the premises of the program The Newsroom. If you are going to run a story make damn sure you have the facts straight.
