    The amazing thing here is that news station was so easily pranked that they put the made-up fake names into on the air graphics and then read them off. At first glance they sound out wise cracks, who could miss that? Someone had to type them up for the graphics, type them into a teleprompter or paper copy to read off!

    The airline announced a lawsuit against the news station. Which is another dumb idea, they'd be better off not calling more attention to themselves than they already have.

    If I remember correctly, the reporter, producer and someone else got fired over it.

    They fired 3 producers over it.

    Imagine what would have happened if the pilots had been africans and the names poked fun at their names.

    The big media people call this racist but is it really?
