  1. No surprise main stream media reported it… a total enjoyable news cast !

  2. Hi John,

    It is such a shame that you got wrapped up in this big tragedy in Belize. I can’t for the life of me understand how someone of your stature would get so close to troublesome parts of the world. Joke or not, is it really the legacy you want to leave behind. Innocent or not ditto. Time to sponsor some creative childrens programs and show others how to get their kicks but create value as you go as opposed to some stupid ass fake drug hoax. Immature and just plain stupid especially with a dead body to end the story that only Columbo could figure out. If you don’t end up in jail or decades in court then create a theatre arts program and get your kicks with the kids.

  3. So the prank gag was an exemplified pranker named John Mcfee.

  4. wow are they dumb

  5. This is a favourite – back story is Jimmy Saville was a c-list celeb for 50 years in the UK, only after his death a year or so ago did it become public knowledge that he was a mass paedophile and rapist. Anyway, someone caught the BBC good and proper with this that went out on air; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sHwcpjSMkPg&feature=related

  6. Apparently they had contacted the NTSB [National Transportation Safety Board] to confirm the names of the pilots. The summer intern who answered the phone confirmed them so they ran with it.

    While it is true, that it shows just how sheep like they are, they at least did call an authority for confirmation. The summer intern has now been fired. Guess that the NTSB has no sense of humor.

    “The NTSB has since apologized for the “inaccurate and offensive” names, which it acknowledged were mistakenly confirmed by a summer intern. The NTSB added that it is not its policy to identify crew involved in accidents, and that it’s taken steps to make sure a similar gaffe does not happen again.”

    Normally I cringe at racist jokes but this one was more of a punk on the media than anything else. I just wonder, didn’t a little voice in her head say…these don’t look right? especially at Ho Lee Fuk. She struggled with that pronunciation.

  7. Wow………..
    Would really like to know how many people read this before it was read on air.
    SMH

  8. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA This is priceless!!!!! Thanks for the laugh!

  9. Omg!

  11. It looks like the NTSB is throwing their summer intern under the bus:

    What they do not address is where did the names come from in the first place? And why was the newscaster so braindead that she didn’t notice and simply read the teleprompter.

    I am so over the media types that are just chasing that dragon known as “the exclusive” and her whelp sister named “the scoop” We can track the bulk of the disinformation about John Mcafee to Ground Zero…Jeff Wise. He was so tragically wrong due to the propaganda from the belize government. Since he apparently doesn’t know how to fact check, he posted it then every one else parroted it and even embellished.I was expecting that John took HGH and was now the HULK

    I could make a much prettier award for them to include on their side. We could have a John’s hall of Shame…I meant Fame Shame

  12. Ho re fuk,I can’t get off the friggin floor from laughing.That is priceless.

  13. ROFLMFAO

    Actions taken to expose the Media’s rampant idiocy should always be applauded.

    Rewarding those actions is even better. Bravo, sir.
