Well, this isn’t on the potentially-dangerous scale of CNN’s incompetence covering the Boston Marathon bombings this past week, but it certainly is worth raising an eyebrow over!
Especially as it implicates our beloved Zooey Deschanel in the tragedy!
That’s right, apparently, a closed captioning program used on a local Fox station misunderstood the news anchor’s pronunciation of 19-year-old suspect Dzhokhar A. Tsarnaev during their coverage of the 24-hour manhunt that took place in Watertown, Massachusetts yesterday, and transcribed it for all viewers to see as:
“Marathon bombing, he is 19-year-old Zooey Deschanel.”
Eek! Ch-ch-check out the gaffe for yourself (above)!
Of course, Miss Zooey pretty quickly caught wind her name being involved in the last possible situation she’d want to find it in, and took to Twitter to share:
Whoa! Epic closed captioning FAIL! “@joelmchale: Oh my RT @peterogburn: twitter.com/peterogburn/st…”

Epic, indeed!
Besides – what were they thinking?!
The information isn’t even CORRECT!
Everyone knows you’re 33 – not 19!
LOLz!
