US TV journalists fired for posting satire videos on YouTube

Four US journalists have been sacked for posting two "profanity-filled satirical" video clips on YouTube.

The quartet - reporters Pete Thompson, Courtney Collins and Jake Hatley, and photographer Chris Jameson - were fired by an Arkansas NBC television affiliate KARK in Little Rock.

Five more employees were suspended for three days for their role in producing the videos.

The clips, since removed from YouTube but available here, feature Thompson appears as a disgruntled reporter. Didn't strike me as all that funny.
