Wait, are we sure this isn't all a joke? This has to be a fake news story. I can't believe that news anchors would believe "Ho Lee Fuk" to be a real name. It is clearly a prank and a play on the racialized "holy f-u-c-k" joke.

If this is a real news story, they are idiots not only for the racially insensitive fake names but for not seeing that this is a prank.

I once dated a man whose stupidity and unworthiness were confirmed when he tried to make an "'Asian accent' name joke" in my presence.

They really announced it on air. I saw the link on FB posted by my SIL who lives there. Let me go fetch it.

ETA: here you go- http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=7ZR4Em9...%3D7ZR4Em9JJDw

I'm sure someone thought it was a joke, but I don't think the anchor was in on it.

The NTSB did in fact confirm the pilot's "names"... their intern did, anyway, and I am guessing he needs something new to do for the rest of his summer after this racist prank: http://www.mediaite.com/online/head-...summer-intern/

Which begs the question... why would the NTSB allow their intern to act as a spokesman?

Is Ron Burgundy covering the news in San Francisco now? That's just embarrassing.
