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. |

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. Edited by OJ, Jul 13 2013, 07:26:35 PM.

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