Yeah the reason I find this funny is purely phonetic. Some pretty far reaching assertions seem to be getting made in this thread

It is bad taste, and I did find it funny. But I can understand people being angry about this, and the person responsible deserves a sacking and a slap. I do have a dark sense of humour.

Whoever is behind this is a fucking moron and should definitely face the consequences.


That said, I agree with Shal, that laughing at this is natural. This type of humor is the most appellative an cheapest way to get some shocking laughs, but it's still funny.

Holy hell, what is going on in here?

Bad taste? Yes.
Wrong? Yes.
Should the intern lose his internship? Yes.
People laughed because asians and plane crashes are funny? No.

You guys are taking something as simple as, "hahaha wow i cant believe she said that." and turning it into a Rodney King type deal.

I guarantee that all you so called moral high ground pompous twats laughed at it, Jesus it's a joke, if you didn't have a forum to express your "oh I find this highly offensive and degrading" opinions you wouldn't care less, stop kidding yourselves by pretending your even bothered, fucking hypocrites everywhere.

It's actually incredibly frustrating to be told how you really feel by someone who I have absolutely nothing in common with. As always I am riding with OJ all the way, no it's not funny it's lame as fuck and yes it is offensive. If you find it funny I'm not telling you to feel differently about it, I'm telling you my opinion on it. I can't stand it when people get all annoyed just because someone finds it offensive. If you don't find it offensive, good for you! Own it you insecure bitches. Stop worrying about what other people think, especially people like me and OJ. I thought we were meant to be the sensitive ones?

The other thing that makes me laugh is the way you guys speak you'd think it was the majority of people here who were horrified and found it offensive. When really it was only me and OJ, the rest of you finding it hilarious. Though some of you like to speak like you are an oppressed minority around here!

I won't lie that it made me giggle, but just because the whole situation was so surreal. The joke is in really bad taste though, and I'm sure that any relative of one of the victims would be furious when they found out about this. I know I would be.

Yeah it was offensive, but still funny, do you like Frankie Boyle by any chance?

The only thing i find somewhat humorous is how the anchor lady didn't even realize that she was getting them wrong.... it doesn't take a rocket scientist to know that those names don't sound right but sound pretty stereotypical. -_-

And I'm not laughing at the pilots, just chuckling at how the news cast got these names wrong... Someone needs to be fired, like, now.

The thing is guys, that if the article was about anything else, let's say a commercial from a store, i'd laugh the same way, actually I didn't even realize about what the article was from and who those pilots were, I just saw the names and laughed, didn't realize if it was about a plane that crashed or any other thing. Therefore, people laughing at it is not offensive. Although, the guy who made the joke surely knew that people were killed in the accident so I can understand that you think he was offensive. But people in here just laughed like anyone who saw that would, because you don't think about the accident right away, the moment you laugh your mind only process ''Ho Lee Fuk'', then after that you can think about the accident and someone making fun of it and not being funny etc etc.

Didn't find it funny. I am not you. You are not me. End. I know Frankie Boyle, and he would never make a tacky racist joke like this. He does plenty for shock value, but nothing like this.

Guys, becuase someone laughs at these it doesn't mean they don't care about the people who died, or that it's funny because they're asians, don't take it that deep. It just means we laughed at what happened on live television, and it was funnier that the women in the news said the names and didn't even realize.
The fact that I laughed at them doesn't mean that, as OJ said, ''since they're asians les's laugh at them'', no, damn fucking no, that's taking it incredibly way farther than it actually goes, I didn't think it through AND THEN laughed, it's not like I laughed at the accident. God guys.
Agreed totally.

Saying what we think is telling you how to feel? You're not telling us how to feel about just giving your opinion, sure, are we not allowed to offer our opinions if we disagree with how you are seeing, judging and taking the situation? Also, I'm not annoyed with people saying it's offensive, just see the whole thing differently. Isn't the whole point of a Forum to enter discussions, offer your opinions on matters, give or ask for help, socialize and so on? You've posted your opinion, I've posted mine, we don't agree, nevermind life goes on.

I'm glad you're not like me, I wouldn't want to be compared to someone so stuck up and miserable, but hey, you ride that high horse.
