The entire staff of the New York radio show "Miss Jones in the Morning" was taken off the air on Wednesday after broadcasting a song that ridiculed victims of the tsunami in South Asia, the radio station said.
New York FM radio station WQHT, or HOT 97, repeatedly ran the segment last week on the show, hosted by deejay Tarsha Nicole Jones who uses the on-air name Miss Jones.
The piece used racial slurs to describe people swept away in the disaster, made jokes about child slavery and people watching their mothers die.
"You can hear God laughing, 'Swim you b**ches swim,' " was one line in the song, sung by staff of the show to the melody of the 1985 famine relief song "We Are the World."
On Monday, the hip-hop and R&B radio station and the deejay apologized and the seven-member morning show crew agreed to donate one week's pay to relief efforts. The tsunami struck on December 26, leaving nearly 300,000 dead or missing around the Indian Ocean from Somalia to Thailand.
The incident is not the first time HOT 97 has been accused of racism and poor taste. The station made headlines when deejay Star, now at another radio station, called Jennifer Lopez a "rice-and-bean eater" and satirized the plane crash that killed R&B singer Aaliyah in 2001.

I heard that song on the radio and was laughing my ass off.
I bet the FCC will fine them.
Speaking of the FCC, I'm suprised no one knows what my avatar is about.
What happened is after a footbal team got a winning touchdown, the guy who ran the ball turned to the opposite team's fans and waved his ass at them. He acted like he was mooning them even though he kept his pants up. The FCC fined him for indecient behavior, and christian parents everywhere cringed.
Shaking your ass at fans is not indecent. Being a bunch of prudes with your heads up your asses is.

O.O YOU'RE KIDDING!
But then I watch the news so...

I posted the link to this song and nobody cared.

I don't think they're racists, I think they're a bunch of ass-headed morons with extremely bad timing and poor taste. They do work at a hip-hop/R&B station so I guess I shouldn't expect them to know better. That'd be like expecting a sandwich to dance.

If a sandwhich danced, would you still be comftorable eating it?
-
Fuck yes. It'd be like biting MC Hammer.

Exactly. "Can't touch this"? Oh no, I think I very well can.

Fucking R&B hip hop freaks! I was listening to a station playing classical music and suddenly I get this "homies in my crib" bullshit. Stay the fuck out of my station, fucking crackbaby assbitches. I wouldn't loathe that music half as much if it weren't for the damn fans. I don't like country music either but at least Garth and Bucko and Bubba don't get up in my face with it.
-
Hahaha...crib.

How is that in your face? The signal changed by accident.

Add that incident with...
--the people at work who blast it on the radio despite the fact they aren't suppose to and have been told not to
--the people on the bus with their headphones on, yet everyone on the bus can still plainly hear what they're listening to
--the people in their cars blasting up the damn music so when they pass by a house or place of business, windows shake. I shouldn't be getting a headache from someone's car music well INSIDE of my own house
--the people in the neighborhood with a hard-on for blaring it for the rest of the neighborhood to hear
--random jackasses with a need to perform it out in public (!)
This stuff is *always* in that particular genre of music. The only incident outside of that was someone blasting AC/DC and then later tejano music a grand total of *twice*, and they still didn't do it to the point where if we shut the doors and windows we could still hear it. It's not like I'm pulling isolated incidents out of my ass. We're talking tens to dozens of times. A huge core of the fanbase is just plain inconsiderate and obnoxious. Not everybody wants to hear everybody else's freakin' music. It's not a difficult concept to understand.

And just to reiterate something, I wouldn't have crap to complain about if these people would keep it to themselves at a decent volume. I admit I have far too much rage, but when people start forcing you to listen to it it starts to cultivate the hate. Think of a song or song genre you don't like or don't care for and picture people blasting it at you everywhere you go. I had nothing to say about Yeah! by Usher Featuring Lil' Jon & Ludacris when it first came out. Or Sunshine by Lil' Flip. I didn't even know who those artists were. Now I can't freakin' stand those songs. My pancreas goes into seizures or something. Those aren't even offensive songs from what I can recall, they've just been overplayed to the shits.
Nothing outside the R&B/Hiphop/Rap thing besides "100 Years" by Five For Fighting irriates me to such extremes. I can't stand the Celine Dion song from the Titantic either, but I don't recall the last time (if ever) somebody had the audacity to blast it in my ear.

Yeah, but...it's just fans of artists promoting their art! It's music!
One of these days I'm going to install a 1000 watt system in my car, head to the projects, and blare bluegrass country/gospel music all day long. I might be shot, but I'd become a folk hero.
-
Yo I loooooove "Get low'!!!
-
I liked it until I realize that I can't even understand half of the lyrics. I'm not stupid, their lyrics don't make any sense.
I can't stand most rap, that and country when I'm forced to listen to it at work.

My best friend has a 500 watt system. We like to pull up to parking lots where kids are loitering and blare German music. The German version of Barbie Girl makes people move fast.

You should play the gay version of "Barbie Girl". People would be gone in an instant.
"Barbie's such a bitch
She is such a witch
I really hate her
Why does Ken date her?"
-
Actually the German version is actually a parody by mastermind Ome Henk. I don't understand what's being said though...
-
I hate it when people around here (Mostly black and some white dudes acting black) blast rap music, and it's pretty bad being near Detroit. Not all the time it's black guy in a car from the 70's, sometimes it's some dude in a riced asian car with a massive tailpipe and a spoiler. Usually when I see this shit, I want to don a Klan robe and drive up playing metallica, and wave an assault rifle in their general direction.
-
what the fuck is wrong with you?
-
I hate blaring music, we get it all the time here. It's worse when you have rich kids in your neighborhood doing it. Anyway Toe, don't worry about Doug. He's all uptight since he'll be getting served nightly by Nasty Nate in a prison cell within a month.
-
Yeah, his ass will be so sore, and he never even got some loligasms. What a fucking gyp. If you do go to jail, rape a 7 year old and claim insanity.
-
You don't know what the word "racist" means.

my ringtone is "barbie girl"!

Yeah, the Ebonics makes the little English teacher inside of me curl up in a fetal position and cry.
