Protests and public disapproval targeted hip-hop station, Hot 97, in New York, when they recently aired a tsunami-victim parody on their morning show. The “We Are the World” parody was played on the airwaves numerous times for weeks. The lyrics to the song were viewed by many as disturbing and by no-means funny.

The following are lyrics from the song that was deemed offensive:

“..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...”
