Just for clarification, this IS real. Actually happened on a US news station like a few hours ago. Fucking terrible.

To be honest I have to give credit to the women, whether because she simply didn't realize and is unaccustomed to saying names such as those or if she made a deliberate attempt to pronounce them in the least laugh worthy manner, its not her saying the names that is funny but the names themselves. In fact I barely noticed the fail until I actually read the names myself, didn't register with me just from listening to her.

Someone needs to lose their job, and hopefully never find work in broadcasting again.

I think that since the FOX unit was part of the CIA, that they'd have given Zero some specifications to how it would be acceptable to run things, which probably meant that bagging your turds and carrying them around with you was tossed out the window, it'd be stupid anyway since even if it was bagged, the stench would've leaked out eventually, and I don't know about you but I'm pretty sure I'd be able to smell it if some random guy was crawling through the bushes carrying a bag of his own shit, especially if he put that and urinated in the same bag...yeah...not very stealthy.

It was an intern that added it in the teleprompter. But the women that read it should have surely caught on....

In another situation I might find it funny. However:

1. Jokes about Asian names are old, boring, and rarely funny.
2. Such a tragic event should be joke fodder for schoolboys, not professionals.
And I believe most importantly,
3. When you get a job in TV you are usually representing private interests, the profits of the owners, sponsors, people who buy ads, etc. Virtually anything is fair game as long as the people funding your production don't object to it. But when you work in a newsroom you are also providing a public service. If you want to make potentially offensive jokes, go work on South Park and you'll hear nothing from me.

With this in mind, yeah, I'd have no problem with the intern being put on industry blacklists. S/he has no business working in news.

I agree with OJ. Lol at "pussies" of course you would say that. It's offensive as hell and insensitive.
