Can't believe nobody posted this yet. TV station in San Fran actually did this on live TV:

I saw that. Honestly...it was pretty funny. Cant believe they didn't catch it before airing it.

Apparently they checked the names with some guy in the NTSB without actually asking who that guy was - turns out he was just a summer intern who decided to have a little fun, assuming they'd actually realise it before they went on air with it....

Korean News Station Pokes Fun at KTVU with Fake American Pilot Names After Southwest Airlines Landing Gear Failure
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.
