Zooey Deschanel, Boston Bomber?

If you've ever watched TV with the closed caption on, say maybe at the gym or something, you've noticed countless spelling and grammar mistakes within the captions. Using the wrong kind of there/their or completely botching someone's name. 

A Fox affiliate in Dallas-Fort Worth is guilty of an epic closed captioning fail. While reporting on the news about the suspect of the Boston bombings, the stations closed caption read "...Marathon bombing, he is 19-year-old Zooey Deschanel." 


As we all know, the suspect has been arrested and he is in fact, not Zooey Deschanel. The star saw a tweet posted by Peter Ogburn that contained the photo above. She responded saying, "Whoa! Epic closed captioning FAIL!" I think the station owes Zooey Deschanel an apology, even though not everyone was watching the report with the closed captions on.
