jacked from some hip hop blog, somewhere on the internets :
“For the last week Hot 97 has been running a hideously unfunny and offensive skit named “Tsunami Song,” that ridicules the victims of the Tsunami as “chinks” whose children will now be sold into child slavery. It’s being played on the station’s morning show, hosted by Miss Jones.
Here are some choice lyrics:
..All at once you could hear the screaming chinks and no one was safe from the wave there were africans drowning,
little chinamen swept away you could hear god laughing, “swim you bitches swim”
So now you’re screwed, it’s the Tsunami
you better run or kiss your ass away, go find your mommy
I just saw her float by, a tree went through her head
and now the children will be sold to child slavery…”
Uhh, yeah. Har de har har.
You may know that one of that show’s other hosts, Miss Info, is Asian. She voiced her displeasure with the skit and got into a heated on-air argument with Miss Jones about it. But so far Hot 97 hasn’t acknowledged that there’s anything wrong with it, and they continue to air it everyday.”

Isn’t that news hella old? (I think they started playing that tsunami song last year after the tsunami first hit.) I can’t imagine why they would be doing it again now.
