Blogging in the burbs

Miss Jones from the Hot 97 radio station thought it would be amusing to make fun of the plight of millions suffering in South East Asia by doing a song parody of “We Are the World.” The audio of the song parody can be found on Asian Media Watch.

The station has since issued an apology but it appears to have come too little too late.

Here's one verse from the song parody:

"There was a time, when the sun was shining bright
So I went down to the beach to catch me a tan.
Then the next thing I knew, a wave 20 feet high
Came and washed your whole country away.
And all at once, you can hear the screaming chinks.
And no one was saved from the wave.
There were Africans drowning, little Chinamen swept away.
You can hear God laughing, 'Swim you bitches swim.'

[Chorus]
"So now you're screwed. It's the tsunami,
You better run and kiss your ass away. Go find your mommy.
I just saw her float by, a tree went through her head.
And now your children will be sold. Child slavery."

Someone at the radio station wasn’t thinking when they allowed this nonsense to air.
