The phony names do not hurt their reputation near as much as their pilot who flew their plane into the ground.

No, you really, really should see them - it was hilarious

Eleanor Roosevelt said: We grow up the first day we have a good laugh--at ourselves.With her face, it must have been hard to keep from crying every time she looked into the mirror. As is the case with liberal women, the evil and ugliness on the inside manifests itself on the outside.

Eleanor wasn't very pretty. Thank goodness she was rich.
Life is BEST when a woman is rich, pretty, smart and nice.
Life is WORST when a woman is poor, ugly, stupid and mean.

I love how the alinsky plan comes together.

I do not think that the joke was funny in view of the accident and also it's one of those "tired" (hackneyed) jokes.
It did remind me of Wang Wei People's Republic of China air force pilot who was killed in the Hainan Island incident; that happened early in the Bush Administration when Wang Wei buzzed a U.S. Navy four-engine plane the wrong way -- a little too closely, clipped a wing and crashed.
There was a wedding announcement decades ago in the San Francisco Chronicle where the two last names combined for a relatively obscene reference.

Asiana get a bleeping grip.
You evidently flew a plane into the ground!
Just ... darn.
To: Oldeconomybuyer
I’m just reading these reports for the first time this morning..and find those remarks in extremely poor taste. An airliner was lost as were lives and injuries. Not a laughing matter.

All airliners fly their planes into the ground, they just lacked class and missed the runway. Truly, Sum Ting Wong.

Not a laughing matter.While the prank was in poor taste, the bulk of the scrutiny should be directed at the Korean pilot, Goh Rong Wei, who obviously dropped the ball, big time.
