disgusting

Last week, New York Hip Hop Station Hot 97FM broadcast the following song to millions, repeatedly:
(sung to the tune of "We are the World")

"..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..."

What an unbelieveably sick thing to do. I hope they are fined by the FCC and the people responsible for this are fired. I can't believe they thought it was funny.

I don't even have the words.....
