KTVU producers fired over Asiana pilots' fake names
KTVU-TV has dismissed at least three veteran producers over the on-air gaffe involving the fake names of those Asiana airline pilots that became an instant YouTube hit - and a major embarrassment to the station. (www.sfgate.com) Plus d'info...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
They should get fired, that's terrible that they did that regardless of the cause.
Is KTVU an ABC affiliate? Might've been an early version of "Will You Fall For That?", if so. :D
Still, I can't help think of the pilot episode of "Just Shoot Me...", where Maya gets fired for "tweaking" the teleprompter script for a snooty newsbimbo, and said newsbimbo reads the script with a straight face.
Still boggles the mind as to the level of retardery that was evident at 'TVU as the "gag" made it allllll the way through to broadcast.

O come on folks, this was a crafty trick, joke, whatever. You can't tell me she didn't preflite that script and rehearsed several times with coaching from tv staff, it gave the whole country a much neede laughGive them back their jobs, I say . I remember the One Wing Lo joke back on 1937 when I was nine. He was Chinese by the way

I thought It was hilarious, If the joke had been made about a "white" flight crew then It would not have gone this far, the problem Is these days, In our "PC" world that only "white" people can be called racist, well Its a two way street.
The TV people should be sued, not for what they put
out on the air, but for being to stupid to figure out it
was a joke. Stupid is as stupid does, somebody said.
