evidently some Koreans have a sense of humor
Korean News Station Pokes Fun at KTVU with Fake American Pilot Names After Southwest Airlines Landing Gear Failure « slothed
 You probably remember KTVU’s royal eff up with reading obviously fake Asian names for the pilots of the Asiana crash. Names like “Wi To Lo” and “Ho Lee Fuk”. It looks like a Korean news agency is having some fun at KTVU’s expense. After the landing gear failure of the Southwest flight at LGA they showed this graphic with American pilot names “Captain Kent Parker Wright”, “Co-Captain Wyatt Wooden Workman”. They even went as far as making up fake names for people to interview. Flight instructor “Heywood U. Flye-Moore” and skeptical passenger “Macy Lawyers”. Well played Korean TV, well played. |

Cool. And I bet no one is planning to sue.

Ya, Asiana suing the news station for "ruining their reputation"- LOL as if their pilot's inability to land the plane in one piece didn't ruin it already.

HTF would Koreans understand those joke names? Most of the ones living here don't have a great handle on English, unless of course they were born here. I would think that the names would have to be in Korean? Or was that a USA station that caters to Korean-Americans?
I thought that the funniest was the headline in the Daily News(?) that said, "Fright 214".

Asiana dropped the lawsuit when they realized the bad publicity they were getting over it far outweighed anything they might win, if anything at all.
