Man when it rains it pours,I can't get over some idiot at a San Francisco tv station actually reported the 2 pilots names of the Asiana crash as "Sumting Wong" and Weetu Low.... And Asiana wants to sue them for it... This is better than the people of Walmart !!!!!! Edited July 15, 2013 by Dustbuster

Ok, the folks at the news station are pinheads for not catching this, but this is BS. It was a mistake on the part of the news station, if anybody is to blame it's the intern at the NTSB that gave them this information. Hey, Asiana, has anyone working there ever made a mistake? Like, I don't know....spilled their coffee or botched a landing......

Look up the video of the news clip for this.  I have not laughed so hard in a long time.  I think I laughed for 30 min over this prank.  Its a harmless prank that was funny as all get out.  Some say it was racist, but that is like saying the old jokes about "mike hunt" etc are racist against white people --- it isnt, it just makes use of common names to make a rude or funny similar phrase/word.   Sum Ting Wong and Wi Tu Lo are exactly the same thing.   People need to learn to laugh at funny stuff, it would do wonders for their health.

 

Whoever the intern was that did this deserves a medal or something.
