I was wondering if this was actually true...yep:

No disrespect to the victims, but that's got to be one of the best tv pranks ever. Up there with the Howard stern ones.
How could those buffoons let that slide?

Yes, I get it. It's in bad taste, true. But sometimes bad taste can be hilarious.


Apparently, someone managed to hack the teleprompter for a San Francisco TV station today...and the anchor read the story live on the air, and with conviction....

We got the bubble-headed bleach-blonde who comes on at five
She can tell you about the plane crash with a gleam in her eye

KTVU apologizes for racist SF plane crash gaffe

The statement said that an NTSB summer intern, in response to the station’s inquiry, “acted outside the scope of his authority when he erroneously confirmed the names of the flight crew on the aircraft.”

So I'm not the only one who thought that wasn't funny?
I would've never guessed THAT.

Just proves that those talking heads will read anything put in front of them.


Go f@&% yourself, San Diego

When I heard about this I thought it was pathetic, not funny; more like something a 4th-grader might do or say.  I'm certain that heads will roll, and not just the intern's, before this is all said and done.
Although I did, for a brief moment, have a smile when I thought about the obvious mental level of said news reader who never for a moment realized she was being pranked.  She probably answers all those Nigerian emails in her inbox, too.

Heads NEED to roll.
And a few jobs need to be lost.
It's really funny as long as one of OUR realatives wasn't on that plane.
