Just disgusted... NYC Hip Hop Station finding amusement in Tsunami tragedy
Edited on Tue Jan-25-05 01:54 AM by NNguyenMD
Apparently some jokers who do the Miss Jones Morning Show at Hot97 thought they'd get a kick out of the Tsunami tragedy and composed this spoof of "We are the World".

http://www.thesilent1.com/USA_For_Indonesia.mp3

Here are some choice lyrics:

..All at once you could hear the screaming ch*nks and no one was safe from the wave there were africans drowning, little chinamen swept away you could hear god laughing, "swim you b*tches 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...

One of the program staffers who does the gossip piece and is an Asian American woman was publically chastised by "Miss Jones" for voicing her personal offense to this garbage. You can hear that altercation here.

NY Post also picked up the story too

Unfreaking believalbe, how any individual could find humor in the annihilation of 100,000 souls.

You can e-mail these gems at programdirector@hot97.com

5. My mouth is wide open
WHAT THE FOCK IS THAT

And yet THEY won't be fined by the FCC.

To the FCC, racism = good. Breasts = bad.

Absolutely sickening.
