"Insert Fingers and Tear Along ..."

Partially read a label, on a box, at one of Chip's blog post, this morning.

Now I see an Insta link of a Buzzfeed titled "24 Photos You Need To Really Look At To Understand"
8. (This is not a young woman carrying a young man.)


Reminding me of one of Althouse's top tags "things are not what they seem."

Pranked News

I started writing this post this morning, when I heard about it on Imus. I held back posting it because I wasn't sure we were going to take it in the humorous direction, which is so obviously the direction it should take. Now I feel a little more confident ... or something. 
 
San Francisco TV Station Reads Fake Names Of Asiana Flight Pilots
 
While looking for a filler, a complimentary filler. I found this... 

Asiana to sue San Fransisco  TV Station over names.
SEOUL, South Korea — Asiana announced Monday that it will sue a San Francisco TV station that it said damaged the airline's reputation by using bogus and racially offensive names for four pilots on a plane that crashed earlier this month in San Francisco.
An anchor for KTVU-TV read the names on the air Friday and then apologized after a break. The report was accompanied by a graphic with the phony names listed alongside a photo of the burned-out plane that had crashed at San Francisco International Airport on July 6, killing three and injuring dozens.
Video of the report has spread widely across the Internet since it was broadcast.
The National Transportation Safety Board has also apologized, saying a summer intern erroneously confirmed the names of the flight crew.
Asiana has decided to sue KTVU-TV to "strongly respond to its racially discriminatory report" that disparaged Asians, Asiana spokeswoman Lee Hyomin said. She said the airline will likely file suit in U.S. courts.
Althouse has not posted anything on this particular crash, or if she did I didn't find it. Other than a post about how crashes are more survivable now days. So, I'm going to go into Althouse's mind, like she asked us to do, more than a few times, and predict that this story would get a 'Law Suits I hope Will Fail' tag.
Deborah was suggesting tags in a previous thread and I remembered not being much of a tags directed commenter. Wile Commenter, an attitude which got me off track a few times, because I wandered off the tag reservation. Targeting my own thoughts with less strict scrutiny.
