Todd Lynn Speaks to Hiphopmusic.com

1/31/05 UPDATE: Todd Lynn Fired


I spoke to Todd Lynn tonight via AOL Instant Messenger for over an hour. I will post the conversation verbatim in its entirety, and let you judge it for yourself. I have only edited his phone number and the identity of a journalist that was mentioned:


--------------------

Todd Lynn I understand were you are coming from but trust me no one onthe show is a racsist
Jay Smooth but it wasn't a mistake when you sang it and recorded it, it wasn't a mistake when you played it on the air, it wasn't a mistake when you played the next day, and then the next day, and the next..

Jay Smooth if you are willing to have me tape it and put it on the website
Todd Lynn How can i trust A guy thats been killing me and I do mean killing me all over the world ,the reason most of this shit got to the point it is is because everbody is not informed on what happened that day
Jay Smooth so what is the information they dont have..
Todd Lynn we all are very sorry for the song! very poor tastse and bad judgement but none of us are bigots

Todd Lynn Not Miss Jones
Jay Smooth does she not speak english? did she not hear the lyrics when she played it, for four days in a row?

Jay Smooth So you don't believe that it is racist to call people chinks? And to say I'm gonna shoot some asians"?
Todd Lynn This was not even a company thing, It was a badd fuckup that we apologized for.
Jay Smooth Actually you have not apologized

Just wanted everyone to know, E.D. Hill, a news anchor woman at Fox News morning show, says she supports Miss Jones ariring that racist Tsunami parody song!!





read more about it here: http://www.hot97sucks.com







TELL FOX NEWS WHAT YOU THINK ABOUT E.D. HILL!!!

Posted by: hot97sucks.com at January 28, 2005 03:39 AM

Awesome Jay Smooth! He sounds like he's really hurting, but lying at the same time. Sorry Todd Lynn, your career seems over :)

Posted by: jimmy at January 28, 2005 03:42 AM

I don't think that was anywhere near an appropriate apology from Todd Lynnn...just excuses.

Posted by: hot97sucks.com at January 28, 2005 03:42 AM

Notice how Todd Lynn never answers why he said he wanted to shoot all Asians?


He just keeps ignoring the question!

Posted by: hot97sucks.com at January 28, 2005 03:44 AM

from what Todd said that WE are the BAD guy that making him a victim out of this!!!! I hate to say this when black people make racist comment they always say that they just only try to be funny! Just like the same answer when Shaq mocked yao.
To Todd u can kiss your show on ABC goodbye as well!

Posted by: Sun at January 28, 2005 03:48 AM

Wow, Todd.

You cant write for shit.


Posted by: jose3030 at January 28, 2005 03:52 AM


until the studio comes out and says, "yes, the microphone was clipping and Todd Lynn did not say 'I'ma going to shoot Asians'", then I'm taking his excuse as bullshit

Posted by: sG at January 28, 2005 04:17 AM

Thank you for doing the interview and sticking to your principles. It is good to finally hear more than two sentences from those involved.

yo holla shoutout to Jay Smooth for doing what's morally right...... you are one of a few that Martin Luther King would call "son"

Posted by: BMoney at January 28, 2005 04:30 AM

now that's no cool, what he id was wrong, but killing him is too much

Posted by: Shun at January 28, 2005 04:31 AM

The only thing that he seems sorry about is the fate of his career. He does not seem apologetic at all. He seems to feel sorry for himself, he seems to feel as if he is the victim. This only shows how self-centered and insensitive he really is. I feel sorry for him, because he just doesn't get it. Thanks Jay Smooth for keeping us informed.

Posted by: Henry at January 28, 2005 04:33 AM

you're not a very funny comedian.

Posted by: Dirk at January 28, 2005 04:37 AM

I agree. I think he only feels sorry that he got caught and wat has happened to him. He doesn't seem remorseful about what he did or said, only that he's being punished for it. And he is obviously not the victim here. The victims are the ones affected by the tsunami.

Posted by: Tedman at January 28, 2005 04:38 AM

Before this comments section degrades into another "blacks vs. asians" flameout like the other posts, I would like to post a quote that offers some relevance since this is still a hip hop website:

"The real tragedy is that there are some ignorant brothers out here. That's why I'm not on this all-White or all Black shit. I'm on this all-real or all fake shit with people, whatever color you are. Because niggaz will do you. I mean, there's some [foul] niggaz out there [in the streets]; the same niggaz that did Malcolm X, the same niggaz that did Jesus Christ- every brother ain't a brother. They will do you. So just because it's Black, don't mean it's cool. And just because it's White don't mean it's evil."
-Tupac Shakur

-Remember we are fighting against ignorance not each other.

Posted by: azheatix at January 28, 2005 04:45 AM

thanx for your hard work in getting this out.

Posted by: ed at January 28, 2005 04:45 AM

like everyone else has sad, thank you for keeping us updated and informed. you seem to be homebase.

Posted by: han at January 28, 2005 04:51 AM

In reading this transcript, it's obvious that Todd Lynn knew what he was doing, but just was sorry that he got CAUGHT. It's plain and simple; if there was no big hoopla about this, he wouldn't have given it a second thought. If no one complained about it, he would have kept playing it.

Bottom line, no sane, mature, (heck, even immature) person would mock perhaps the greatest tragedy anyone of us will see in our lives. Just thinking about it makes me boiling mad. And to mock Asians, with "chink" and "Chinaman", if i called him a "nigger," he'd be crying racism until God-knows-when. If I said "kill niggers" on the radio in NYC, the world's largest market, you can bet that not only will I be fired, I will have to move away or face death. Lucky for Todd Lynn (perhaps) he may not have people after him.

Posted by: Phil at January 28, 2005 04:54 AM

A comedian should (of all people) know the fine line between what's funny and down-right offensive, any other self proclaimed comedian is just a bigot in denial.
Suspended (on full pay no doubt - like paid holiday) until it blows over was hardly swift or adequate.

As for ED Hill, news anchor woman for Fox... well actually, I think that explains her (lack of) thinking.

Posted by: Lawrence at January 28, 2005 04:58 AM

Yeah, i heard what E.D. Hill had said. In another post 000659.html on 27th at 8am, I had mentioned that I heard Brian Kilmeade, who co-host Fox and Friends with her, saying "it's funny and a good song"?

I have written to them and demanded a public apology but haven't received reply.

Posted by: anon-x at January 28, 2005 04:59 AM

Does this mean Miss Jones will go back to work at WPHI in Philly where she was once fired from? : )

Posted by: John doe at January 28, 2005 05:30 AM

It really annoys me how Todd in his comments states how black and tall and heavy he is. "Yo, I'm black so I ain't racist." So just because he is black himself, nothing he says is racist? As if colored people cannot be racist. Just because you're black does not mean you can say anything you want. And the excuse: "hey, I'm black myself, how can I be racist and ignorant" gives a new meaning to the word 'lame'.

I feel no pity for Todd Lynn or Miss Jones at all. Although freedom of speech is their right, they should suffer the consequences for their actions under the full tsunami force of public opinion.

Yes, we all make mistakes but big mistakes should never be repeated and needs to be stopped once and for all.

For the producers and "talent" of the Hot 97 show..." the FCC says, swim bitches swim !!"

Just as a reminder, these iare the images of the people that the song made fun of. Few Chinese were killed, mostly dark skinned Asians and blonde haired Europeans.

Judging from Todd's butchering of the English language I think it's safe to assume he's probably not the sharpest tool in the shed. Given that I'll accept his plead of ingorance. Yes he's one ignorant cat. Todd, give us a break. Come correct or don't come at all. Finding a straight up answer to one of Jay's questions is harder to find than an ass on a chinese woman. My apologies for the Bumpy Knuckles reference which might be in poor taste given the sensitive subject matter at hand.

well im sure dude aint a full blown racist or anything like that i seen him on tough crowd wit collin quin a couple of times where he talked a gang of shiet, but the reason why i was pissed at what they did wasn't just that the song was using racist epithets but that they would be so twisted to mock the 200,000+ victims of the tsunami like that, not even a month and America is already joking bout it. I thought that was fucked up and it made America look bad. but for the chinks chinamen crap yea that was messed up too but i usually just brush that stuff off and L.I.G let it go, but mockin the tsunami victims was goin too far

Hey I have a question: what about Miss Info????? Apparently the morning crew on hot97 is suspended until the protests die down, or permanently...but Miss Info stood up like a real person and showed her dignity and strength as the MissJones crew attacked her viciously...why should Miss Info get punished also?????
UNFAIR, and no one's talking about it!

these images are so touching and sad tat make me cried and to think anybody could used it as a rating spike and a cheap laugh, these people dont deserve any sympathy from us sorry doesnt make anything better from what they did.

Posted by: Sad at January 28, 2005 07:21 AM

Jay Smooth: Listen, seriously, you need to come up with a better lie than that. I've been doing radio for 15 years, I know what it sounds like when mics are clipping in and out..
Jay Smooth: You sound ridiculous right now

Jay, YOU SO NAILED HIM!!!! You are doing some great reporting and I now feel okay about getting up at 5:30 in the morning to come down to BAI and prep for the rally/story coverage. Your interview woke me up better than three cups of coffee.

Great job! I asked Errol to announce the rally on Wake Up Call a few times. I'm here, so I'll keep bugging him and see if I can give you some props for your work and plug your upcoming show. Again, GREAT WORK!!!!

Posted by: LeanneLovesRiseUp at January 28, 2005 07:23 AM

Even the way he chats is lame. He avoids questions, has no sense of grammar, and it hurt my eyes reading his messages.

Posted by: banana_thrower at January 28, 2005 07:34 AM

He seems more sorry for the backlash than the actual song. Im not buying it... back to writing to sponsors...

Posted by: JD at January 28, 2005 07:38 AM

rascist? millchious? somebody get the boy a dictionary!

Posted by: solid at January 28, 2005 07:47 AM

Todd,

You joked about orphaned children becoming sexual slaves bro. This may be the most cold hearted "comedy" I have ever heard in my life.

Who in the hell did you expect to laugh at a "joke" like that??

Again, I repeat... You and your cohorts found humor in writing a song about orphaned children who lost their parents in the tsunami becoming slaves????

Put the racism aside for a moment dude, this joke alone will blacklist you for all eternity.

Posted by: The Blinky at January 28, 2005 08:01 AM

Can someone repost the contact info for ABC, I want to remind them what a dumbass Todd Lynn and let them know a lot of people don't want his input on any kind of ABC programming.

Posted by: _ at January 28, 2005 08:02 AM

"They knew nothing about the recording" "The mic malfunctioned"? "Taken out of context"?? "None of them are racist"
Those are some real funny lines..... too bad he could not back up his shit with proof.
Absolve the issue?? With what? Another PAID suspension..... Now HATE 97 has made a mockery of all of us who demand retribution...
Not death tho.... no.. ToddLynnR.I.P..thats the wrong way to go..... Hit everyone where it hurts !!! The wallet !!!

Posted by: Amy at January 28, 2005 08:10 AM

The station has an audience that likes to hear that stuff or nobody would have come up with it. Face it, Black racism against Jews, Asians, and Hispanics is rampant. All of us want to blame somebody for our failures; some rant at Republicans, some at dogs, some at spouses; way too many want to blame certain racial groups they feel are beneath them; the station audience was getting what they want to hear or the "song" could not have been played for three days before somebody said something. Three days!

Posted by: Howard Veit at January 28, 2005 08:16 AM

great job jay...

todd lynn is a racist who got caught and just is coming up with weak excuses. his apology lacked sincerity and is plain pathetic. this just pisses me off even more!! more complaint letters gonna be coming from me. todd lynn, if you are reading this, you just pissed a whole bunch of people off again!!

kharma is a real b*tch isn't it?!

Posted by: stillveryPO at January 28, 2005 08:25 AM

todd lynn, miss jones and those who had anything to do with writing, producing, recording, approving the song to air: (even you too, lizzie grubman)

you want to prove you're sorry? go help out with the relief efforts in asia then maybe we will believe you. may karma haunt you for the rest of your lives.

Posted by: superPO at January 28, 2005 08:37 AM

Jay, thanks so much for posting the AOL exchange. It was a very strong and you asked great questions. However, judging by Todd Lynn's dodging, there is something more sinister going on here.

Todd Lynn is very ignorant to think that because he is BLACK he can't be RACIST. Yeah, yeah I've heard this crap before.... "you have to have power to be racist and black people cannot be racist because we don't have power" It's utterly ridiculous. You have power when you can reach millions of people each day on your radio show, tens of thousands of young and impressionable people. If you are not smart enough to know right from wrong and that you have such power, you really should not be a DJ.

As far as his being a "comedian", I am sure that secretly, people may have admitted to themselves they thought the song was funny (I didn't think it was at all). But nonetheless, they have enough taste and human decency to respect the fact that it is racist and know it was bad judgement to REPEATEDLY play it on a radio show. I feel sorry for these folks because their ignorance caught up with them in the worse possible way. WHERE IN THE HELL IS THE PRODUCER??!?! Jay find him please.

Like I've said before, I'm glad we're all mortal and it all ends one day.

Posted by: Hot 97 Morning Show next host at January 28, 2005 08:48 AM

Which sponsors are still airing Ads on the Morning Show today? Can someone provide this so we all know which companies to focus our complaints to?

Posted by: Wolrd_interest at January 28, 2005 08:53 AM

THEY ALL GOT PAID LEAVE?!? It's not confirmed but he's a blurb from allhiphop.com

From: http://www.allhiphop.com/rumors/?ID=667

Now. The Hot 97 Tsunami debacle is WILD and the rumors are running along with it. This may or may not be true, but somebody up there wants to get a point out there without getting in trouble. Ew Wee! So, this is alllllll rumor until somebody returns our calls. We heard that the crew up there didn’t really get suspended or chastised in a way that’s consistent with penalty. Well, they got the boot off the air, but the whole crew got a paid leave from what we hear. We also heard that the indefinite leave is pretty finite. We heard the whole motley crew, including leader Miss Jones, will be back about the first week in February. Just in time for Valentine ’s Day. But, all isn’t lovely. Did their salaries get donated to Tsunami Relief? We don’t know, but pose the question. The Asians that were offended at a song that made fun of the Tsunami tragedy (over 200,000 dead) have hit the Hot 97 sponsors hard. We heard that they have already lost millions of dollars in ads/sponsors. But, they gained millions of new eyes. There is a difference with this stunt than those in the past. The higher ups at Emmis are reportedly very unhappy and that means heads can still roll. Word has it, some from the “team” are willing to take everybody down if “he or she” is out. Ew Wee! And Star of rival Power 105 has been having a ball with this. He’s been playing Miss Jones’ songs and really stomping on her career. Well, you know she used to work with his “Star and Bucwild Show” when the whole Aaliyah controversy went down. And she walked out on them…now this. The plot thickens.

By the way, Miss Jones previously had a conversation with Ray Benzino a few weeks back. In the conversation, Benzino called Russell Simmons a “coon” and Jonesy made remarks about Jewish people. Well, that audio got removed and it wasn’t because of the “coon” comment either. All that and we still ain’t saying s**t!

Was anyone at the studio building this morning? I was there at 8:15 and didn't see a soul... I thought there was supposed to be a rally... Too early maybe?

Posted by: KidSire at January 28, 2005 09:13 AM

Shame on you Hot 97 staff for even considering making fun of the drownings of tens of thousands of babies, toddlers, and young children.

Shame on you for hiding behind your spin doctor PR people. Cowards.

Consider that one day, it might be YOUR child that drowns. Maybe at the pool, maybe at the beach.

On that day, you should find your copy of the tsunami song that YOU helped to make and broadcast.

Play it. Over and over. For at least a WEEK.

Then maybe, just maybe you'll understand the outrage that's grown over this.

Email this lady & tell her how you feel. Hopefully, she will rebutt her statement say she "supports the airing of the Tsunami Song".

Peace~

Posted by: S at January 28, 2005 09:21 AM

honestly though, todd lynn was careless with his choice of words, irrespinsible in not approving the song but the peeople that really piss me off in this situation are Miss Jones and Rick Delgado.

The reason here is twofold, Miss Jones is not slightly biased, she is an out and out racist and you can tell from her comments. fuck her.

And Rick Delgado because he premeditated this whole song, he sat there and wrote these words knowing full well what it meant, which means 1. he's a terrible human being and 2. he's a grimy ass racist

Todd is so ignorant it's almost funny.

Yeah there is no remorse for any wrong doings only because he's getting heat. F*ck dat. He thinks he's the victim when he's done everything wrong to begin with. And YES calling someone a nigger or chink is a racist remark. THEREFORE makes you racist. yes it definitely was a mistake, that people heard you saying it.

I hope he becomes like the rest of the black community and lives like a bum asking me for change in the city. OOPS i meant that to be funny not as a racist remark. but im not racist i'm just a comedian what do i know.

Jones, Lynn and Envy should be fired from HOT 97.1 and should never be aloud on any type of live radio play/work ever. God Bless that Miss.

Also i was never a hardcore "Jin" (Ruff Ryders) Fan (i have his 1st album), but man he can write some good rythme's right, just dissing Jones along with HOT97 and making good points of HIPHOP UNITY........J.Wong

Posted by: Jack Wong at January 28, 2005 09:53 AM

I feel so defeated. First Bush gets re-elected and now this. I think they'll come back to the station. They can't afford for Star and Buc to succeed. They'd rather put Miss Jones & crew back on and risk losing a handful of listeners, than try finding new DJs and change their format. It's a shame, a real shame that they've sunk so low. It sickens me that people no longer have integrity. People marched and died to end this kind of crap not too long ago. We have memories of gnats!

I'm headed to the rally now.

Posted by: AFRO-NYC at January 28, 2005 09:56 AM

People, please do not let all the anger diminish your capacity for compassion and forgiveness. Lynn's fumbling for words actually made me feel sorry.

good article at http://www.audiographics.com/agd/s1012805.htm:

This is NOT the Publicity Radio Needs

There are a couple of questions I'd like to ask management and staff of New York City's Hot 97, WQHT-FM, now that they've succeeded in putting radio on the world map. Even though their intent was to get the WQHT call letters noticed, having this fiasco discussed in the world's press shows how big a stick struck the hornet's nest.

Let's see... 200,000+ dead - that's DEAD - in the biggest natural disaster multiple generations have witnessed, and the station's morning crew airs a sleazy parody song? Then, the best the station comes up with is "HOT 97 regrets the airing of material that made light of a serious and tragic event."

Question #1-directed at Miss Jones, in reference to her exchange with Miss Info... (If you are not aware of the words between the two, read about the story through the link below. Miss Info, who is Asian American, challenged Miss Jones' airing "The Tsunami Song," which started this mess.)

...ah, the question: How could you speak to a co-worker this way?

Here's a taste of Miss Jones' concept of entertainment and respect for folks she works with: "You feel superior, probably because you're Asian." MJ has a co-host that obviously feels the same way. Todd Lynn interjected, "I'm gonna start shooting Asians."

Question #2-directed at management: Do you really expect anyone to believe you had no knowledge of this, through its multiple airings between Jan. 17-21?

That this subject was even joked about shows a lack of sensitivity from the people in control at WQHT-FM, even though being sensative to a community's needs is required when holding a broadcast license. That there's only been a "suspension" of the morning crew is disgraceful. They should be fired, and it should not stop there.

If Emmis does anything less than replace the whole team (GM, GSM, OPS Director, Program Director, and morning crew), the license should be revoked, and other people should be given a shot at using this radio frequency for the good of the community.

It's obvious that thought never crossed the current management's mind.

Posted by: Anj at January 28, 2005 10:01 AM

Hey, thanks for all the posts Jay.

Just three things, which everyone else has said;
Todd isn't sorry for what he did, he's sorry he's getting flack on it.

And he said he had no prior knowledge of this? How the fuck did he record the song? Didn't he have to read the lyrics and practice singing it a few times first? How did Miss Info, who ,presumably, would have gotten the song the same time he did have time to digest the lyrics and opt out of doing it? I guess being Asian, she must have used her superior intellect... ;-)

And I feel for Miss Info, she shouldn't be lumped along with the rest of them in this fiasco.

Posted by: Jack Wang at January 28, 2005 10:05 AM

Posted by: lmonte at January 28, 2005 10:36 AM

i don't understand how saying the word "nigger" is anywhere close to saying "i'm going to shoot all Asians."
he's right, saying the word "nigger" is not racist. it's fuckin stupid and demeaning. but if i was to say "i'm going to shoot all niggers."
then yeah. you can say i'm racist. and i'll have nothing to refute that.

jay, thanks for all your work on this site. i have to say it's the best in regards to updates and accurate information. and i can see you were being really fair in your AIM conversation with lynn. kudos to everyone.

Posted by: meena at January 28, 2005 10:53 AM

Hot 97 thinks that this will blow over, and when Miss Jones returns, ratings will be higher than before.

This publicity stunt targeted the 200,000+ people who died, and mocks the people who are trying to pick up the pieces after this disaster.

It's about people. The world should be disgusted.

Posted by: not stupid at January 28, 2005 11:01 AM

jay, thanks for being the place for the up to the minute news on what's going on with this. it's quite clear how UNeducated these people are, from your convo w/ Todd Lynn. if he feels like he made a mistake...let him pay for it then.

Posted by: george at January 28, 2005 11:05 AM

What some people are missing entirely is that the lyrics of the song are not just racist, and not just mocking the deaths of people. The song outwardly APPLAUDS the deaths of the people. It basically says "We at Hot97 are happy the people died in the Tsunami".

This goes beyond mere mockery. This goes beyond a mere apology...

I'm tempted to rewrite their lyrics to applaud the deaths on 9/11/01, but then the FBI would be after my ass.... Oh, but Miss Jones and Todd Lynn are having their 1st Amendment rights trampled? I dare them to make a song mocking and applauding the deaths on 9/11.. yet they know that "goes too far", so they won't... but applauding the deaths of 250,000 + people is fair game for a sick attempt at getting ratings - that isn't "too far". Indeed.

New York Radio Station’s Tsunami Parody Went Beyond The Bounds Of Decency
January 28, 2005 -- The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) is calling for appropriate disciplinary action against members of New York radio station WQHT-FM, known locally as Hot 97, for airing a racist song parody that mocked victims of the catastrophic South Asia tsunami. The death toll from the tsunami that struck Asia and Africa is estimated from 150,000 to 178,000, with more than 140,000 still missing.

ADVERTISING

“Racially offensive remarks are wrong and unacceptable no matter from what quarter they come,” said NAACP Interim President and CEO Dennis Hayes. “The African American community, like all communities, must practice tolerance and show respect for the loss of human life. The NAACP would expect the owners of WQHT-FM to properly discipline all who were involved in airing the tasteless song that has offended people in all communities.”

The morning show host who played the song, Tarsha Jones, and her morning team were suspended indefinitely on Wednesday by the station management. The song set to the tune of the 1985 famine-relief song “We Are the World,” first aired January 18. It included slurs against Asians and jokes about floating bodies.

Founded in 1909, the NAACP is the nation’s oldest and largest civil rights organization. Its half-million adult and youth members throughout the United States and the world are the premier advocates for civil rights in their communities, conducting voter mobilization and monitoring equal opportunity in the public and privates sectors.

Thanks Jay for the updated news. You are awesome!!

By the way, was Lynn on drug or something??? The way he talked to you was like he's mellow (high from a drug)or something. He never answered your questions!!!

After I read all those conversations, I think he's full of sh**!!!! He better knows that us, audiences are not stupid to believe all that bullsh*t!

Posted by: June at January 28, 2005 11:17 AM

I'm really glad the NAACP has FINALLY issued a statement and stance against this matter. But I feel like it took them TOO LONG and it wasn't a priority. I know if this had been a song mocking 9/11, or using n*ggaz instead of chinks, they would've been marching within the first hour of the first airing of this nasty song. Does anyone know where this statement is from and if they're planning to do anything additionally?? We need to put as much pressure on Emmis as possible...

Posted by: butter at January 28, 2005 11:18 AM

IF HE'S NOT RACIST, THEN WHY DOES HE SAY RACIST THYINGS???

Statement from NAACP:


January 28, 2005
Racial And Ethnic Intolerance Is Wrong In Every Community
New York radio station’s Tsunami parody went beyond the bounds of decency

The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) is calling for appropriate disciplinary action against members of New York radio station WQHT-FM, known locally as Hot 97, for airing a racist song parody that mocked victims of the catastrophic South Asia tsunami.

Jay,

how come so many of the people who insist on ranting about how this incident is proof of how evil Black people are towards Asians and other ethnic groups are managing to ignore how active Black people have been in campaigning against hot97 for this?

It is a violation of federal law to broadcast obscene, profane or indecent programming. The prohibition is set forth at Title 18 United States Code, Section 1464 (18 U.S.C. § 1464). Congress has provided the Federal Communications Commission with the responsibility for administratively enforcing 18 U.S.C. § 1464. In doing so, the Commission may issue to a broadcast licensee found to have violated these provision of the law a warning, impose a monetary forfeiture or revoke a station license for the broadcast of obscene, profane or indecent material.
Profane Broadcasts Prohibited from 6 a.m.-10 p.m.
The FCC has defined profanity to include language that “denot[es] certain of those personally reviling epithets naturally tending to provoke violent resentment or denoting language so grossly offensive to members of the public who actually hear it as to amount to a nuisance.” Complaints Against Various Broadcast Licensees Regarding Their Airing of the “Golden Globe Awards” Program, FCC 04-43 (released: March 18, 2004). In announcing this definition, the FCC ruled that the single use of the “F-word” in the context of a live awards program was profane. The FCC further stated that it “depending on the context, will also consider under the definition of profanity the ‘F-Word’ and those words (or variants thereof) that are as highly offensive as the ‘F-Word,’ to the extent such language is broadcast between 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. We will analyze other potentially profane words or phrases on a case-by-case basis.”

Under this definition- I find that the use of the word "chink" in the tsunami song highly profane.

I personally commend Todd for being brave enough to speak out because that's more than what Miss Jones has done. However, he's not fooling anyone with his lies!!
In his exchange with Jay, he never says HOW his comment got taken out of context - he just says his mic got clipped. But in this interview:

http://www.trickology.com/index.php/music/2005/01/28/todd_lynn

... he makes a lame ass excuse that he ACTUALLY SAID "THEY ACT LIKE I'mma shoot all asians." If that's what was said all along, why couldn't he tell Jay that? Maybe because he didn't have the lie ready yet?? Instead, he thought long and hard about what story to formulate and then did the trickology interview. He must have had some serious help with his lies and vocabulary! His fourth word is "egregious"?! I doubt that someone who doesn't know how to spell "racist" knows what "egregious" means. Guess what Todd- You are an EGREGIOUS RACIST!! (no, being black does NOT excuse you.)

I got NOTHING from this interview. Todd Lynn can't even manage to save his face. He's sorry only because he lost his job.
Just cause he's black doesn't make him non-racist. That argument between Miss Jones and Miss Info gave me a chill down my spine. These people talking on popular radio show( except Miss Info) sounded like KKK talking out in the open. It's scary. Miss Jones and Todd Lynn have so much HATE in them. But this is not only their fault. It's entire HOT97 station's. Someone had to approve the song before it was aired. It played over the cource of four days. EVERYONE who works for the station must have heard it. Nothing was said until four days passed? I want HOT97 to shut down the station for 1 whole day. Can we pressure them to do that?

Posted by: kiko at January 28, 2005 11:47 AM

I am asian also, and I don't think blacks are evil. It's the stupid ignorant idiots at Hot97 that are to blame.

I hope my fellow asians do not see this as a black vs.asian issue. please don't be ignorant. Remember, the situation can be reversed where
a dumb asian can make racist comments about
blacks.

Posted by: WC at January 28, 2005 11:51 AM

Thank you for keep the pressure on these folks. Clearly, this man does not get it. I think for those involved from the on-air folks to the producers to have any sort of ephinany, they need to lose their jobs. Nothing else will suffice.

it's always great to see people reach out and help eachother, band together, fight together... (reminds me of Eminem's "Mosh" Music Vid&Song)

But also, in the end, we have to move on but keep fighting for what is right.

Good Looks everyone.

i know the question was directed at Jay but i'm not sure where you get the idea that "this incident is proof of how evil Black people are towards Asians and other ethnic groups." I do not think this is true at all.

i believe some of the folks on the site are simply asking why everyone campaigning are mostly asian organizations. today is the first day we have heard from the NAACP.

we do, however, recognize that there are many private black inviduals who have voiced their concern over the issue. we are not only looking for the black organizations but for government officials to acknowledge this incident.

this was my favorite part:

"Listen, seriously, you need to come up with a better lie than that. I've been doing radio for 15 years, I know what it sounds like when mics are clipping in and out..you sound really ridiculous right now"

*laughs to self*

Posted by: Veronica at January 28, 2005 11:58 AM

A publicly traded company in the USA cannot afford to tolerate or encourage racism, no matter what groups are involved. the fact that the jones is suspended reflects a poor understanding of the nature of the crime by the emms exes.

They naively think that jones is the one who has the problem, but they have not realized that by suspension, the exes have brought the problem to themselves, at a much bigger magnitude.

wait to see people talking about boycotting products advertised on hot97,thier parent company and then you will see how fast the exes switch tones.
emms will have to take the blame for not only tolerating but promoting racism at an international level. this perception my potentially eat into ad revenues as a cascade of public opinion builds.

A white DJ said"Martin Luther Coo-King" and he was fired pronto.

I predit in few weeks hot97 will be doing some type of concert to benfit Tsunami event and all the moeny will be donated, Please dont be fool when they try to change the view of the public and everyone will forget!

Keep on the good work Jay S & everyone else worldwide..

i'm not sure if this is any indication but from Jay's photo gallery, he looks black to me.

and this ain't a black vs asian issue. it's ignorant to think that it is.

first and FOREMOST, is the disrespect shown towards those who died in the tragedy, the orphaned children and those who've lost their loved ones.

and second are the racial slurs used.

Wow.. He's an idiot too. If you look at his conversation with Jay Smooth, then look at the interview at trickology, you'll notice a very different tone. Look's like he used a thesaurus, and badly too.
"We made an egregious mistake".. whoa.. a little advanced for a guy who can't make use of the words "or", "too", and "organized", among many others.
Not to mention that he is trying to put the blame on someone else.. This man is sick, and should be fired right away.

Todd Lynn is so desparate in trying to prove that he's not a racist. But he's not seeing that this incident is way bigger than the race issue. making fun of more than 220,000 people dead and missing plus their family and friends all over the world on air, knowing that millions of people are listening, is nothing but evil. And HOT97 supported it.

What happened to "standing up and fighting?" Looks like people can only type instead of actually taking action. What disappointing turn out.

Posted by: Whatever at January 28, 2005 12:16 PM

If any one can, we should reorganize another public rally. I feel the one organized today was sent on too short of notice. To compound the matter, it should have taken place on the weekend where the availibity of everyone (myself included) would be able to attend. People still have to work and school, its not that we don't care.

Posted by: L at January 28, 2005 12:19 PM

Only time will tell. Lets see how "committed" everyone is 2 weeks from now.

Posted by: yeah at January 28, 2005 12:26 PM

hot 97 is laughing now if it is true that only 40 people showed up. The morning show may be back by Monday. with this turnout.

Posted by: mike at January 28, 2005 12:32 PM

it's hard for ppl to show up on a weekday!
and it's below freezing cold out

Posted by: g at January 28, 2005 12:33 PM

Someone please confirm only 40 people are out there...that is so sad!

Posted by: butter at January 28, 2005 12:36 PM

is there any tv coverage? any sites with updates?

Posted by: g at January 28, 2005 12:38 PM

It was an appropriate turnout and they should be applauded.

The point was to deliver a clear and concise response to Hot 97's crap.

It's a smart move, putting the ball back in Hot 97's corner.

If they act appropriately, then things can start returning to normal. If not, then the larger rallies are called for and we make more noise until we're heard.

The last thing you want to do is recreate the LA Riots with mob violence and destruction.

Emmis and their sponsors know there's plenty of fuel left in this fire. They'd be smart to cut their losses now instead of looking stupid a week later when the protests have bloomed and they take even MORE criticism for not acting appropriately.

Have faith - this is a process, not a sprint. Don't let the naysayers dictate how you should feel and act. Dr. Martin Luther King would have been proud today.

Thanks to Jay most of all for keeping this board buzzing with information and discussion. You really rock.

Posted by: SpeakUP at January 28, 2005 12:41 PM

Mad props to JS for keeping us all updated on this. Really appreciate your work and dedication on this man.

Did TL actually say "I have Asisan family members?" That's like when racist white people say "But I have black friends!" Sad....

Also, being a "big black guy who catches hell out here every day," means jack shit. A racist comment is a racist comment, no matter who it comes from. In fact, people of color making racist comments about another race pisses me off the most. You'd think we'd know better.

He also says he's “not a person who hates other races of people." You don't gotta hate other races of people to be racist. Racism isn't so black and white. Most white people don't hate all black people, but they are still prone to making ignorant comments and participating in racism.

Posted by: Kazu at January 28, 2005 12:42 PM

The problem is people everywhere are offended. But if you don't live in NYC you couldn't be at the protest today. I live in Florida, I wish I could be there. But I'm doing my part here, more than just typing.

Posted by: Ming at January 28, 2005 12:43 PM

"i know the question was directed at Jay but i'm not sure where you get the idea that "this incident is proof of how evil Black people are towards Asians and other ethnic groups." I do not think this is true at all.

i believe some of the folks on the site are simply asking why everyone campaigning are mostly asian organizations. today is the first day we have heard from the NAACP."

Ok, lets be honest.If the roles between blacks and asians were reversed in this or any OTHER situation, you wouldn't see too many asian organizations responding very fast if at all.And that's ok.I don't expect that.The same can be said of any minority organization.People need to stop pointing fingers about "racist black community" this, and "if this was blacks"that.The same EXACT thing can be said of and other group.Black people are not the most racist group, no group is.

And to all the people out there throwing out vebal insults at people or an etire community, YOU ARE NO BETTER THEN THE VERY RACIST YOU HATE.Thank you.

Posted by: hey at January 28, 2005 12:45 PM

I don't understand how anyone can come here and mock the efforts that have been put forth thusfar. To me, it doesn't matter how many people are there or not -- the fact that there ARE people there is more than enough for me. There are a lot of people who work and go to school who couldn't make it. This is important but that is their livelihood. And for those who are saying that "typing does nothing, etc." if not FOR all the typing, including Jay's (and everyone else's) constant updates and efforts, many of us would not have heard of this or have had the info to spread around. And alot HAS been accomplished so bravo to all.

Jay, I think you did a great job while talking with Todd Lynn. I agree that he doesn't make much sense, especially in saying that he didn't know about the song? Pfft. He certainly is more brave than Miss Jones because at least he's willing to speak about it. However, the entire conversation was a copout. Unfortunate.

pure ignorance. this goes to the emmis for supporting this behavior, no matter what public statements they make. bottomline, they are behind the attention. hit them where it hurts, the sponsors and stockholders! only then, will the begin to understand the magnitude of our voices.

Posted by: rich at January 28, 2005 12:53 PM

I'm in Canada. I can't join the rally in NY. But that doesn't mean I do nothing but type here. I did my best to help by passing this news to oversea and even wrote many emails to FCC and many more.

By the way, I'm not a quitter. I want to see something change here.

Posted by: June at January 28, 2005 12:55 PM

if in fact the count is accurate, do not lose faith on the number of people who participate in the rally.

we didn't need to leave our desks to send notices out to all the advertisers. and they heard us loud and clear. it's not over.

Posted by: yeah at January 28, 2005 01:06 PM

I just listened to the whole on-air argument between Miss Jones/Todd Lynn and Miss Info and you can clearly hear Todd Lynn saying 'I'm gonna start shooting asians' and not 'shoot all asians'. He should listen to it again for himself and then try to defend it.

Also it seems he/they are trying to absolve Miss Jones from any of this. Aren't they (Todd Lynn and Miss Jones) the ones singing the lyrics?? Maybe I'm wrong about that. They specifically say 'starring the Miss Jones and the morning show players' and she says 'yes'.. how then can she have nothing to do with it? By then she's heard it a few times already and knows what's said.

And what up with Miss Jones' remarks that "you feel superior, probably because you're ASIAN." That in itself is racist. She got upset and slipped that out. From being insensitive about the song to then flat out making a stereotypical remark. She should have apologized for that as well. It was bad taste to record the song and play it... but it was also worng to make those comments...

Also what about Dr.Jeff their guest that day. He wanted to hear the so. I'm sure he already knew it was a parody of the tragic events yet he still wanted to hear it. That's abit wrong as well, don't you think?

Well I just wanted to voice that out. Thanks...

Posted by: SYS at January 28, 2005 01:07 PM

I know for one I'll be having fun keeping missjones.net busy :-) Her entire website is down now, but they promise the forums will be back up... and I'll be there to rant about this until they shut the forums (and maybe the website) down again...

And the emails will flow like water.

As for me not going to the rally - let's see, 12 degrees, have to go to work, and emails seem to work better. I think the rally was a bit strange to begin with, have it at 5 or 6pm, you might get a LOT more people.

Posted by: richard hagen at January 28, 2005 01:28 PM

i thought it strange that they schedule a rally when it would be hard for people to go...how about when around lunch time or after work...i cant make 11 & i have to cover a telephone shift today in the morning...or better yet, the weekends would have been awesome...

Posted by: ethan at January 28, 2005 01:30 PM

I went to the rally. It was a great turn out. Protesters, Politicians and the Press. I've got great photos, but I have to go home and upload them. I'm very proud of everyone who stepped up and went out. It was 18 degrees when I was out there. I don't know how effective it was, but a presence was felt! Props to Councilmen Lui, Perkins (my councilman from Harlem) and Roberts for speaking up!

Posted by: AFRO- NYC at January 28, 2005 01:34 PM

Posted by: butter at January 28, 2005 01:35 PM

AFRO-NYC, how many people were at this event? i think the naysayers are trying to silence us by saying only 40 people turned out, including press, but I have a gut feeling that it's more than that. Glad you made it out there! I'd be out there myself if I wasn't in Texas... =)

Posted by: JohnN at January 28, 2005 01:37 PM

was there only 40 people???how fucking sad for all you guys to hype yourselves up like you were gonna start a revolution..sorry guys look like nothing is going to happen out of all this. this sucks, that nasty ass bitch jones need to get slapped and put on a diet ASAP...

Posted by: 40?? at January 28, 2005 01:37 PM

Thanks for the updated AFRO-NYC. Glad to hear that it turned out great. How was the reaction from Emmis and Hot 97? Did they come out and say something?

Posted by: June at January 28, 2005 01:39 PM

Truth is, I am sure Toddy probably didnt mean any harm but the fact is, you did what you did Todd.

Sometimes in life, we understand shit happens. And Im sure everyone is guilty of doing something that perhaps we never intended for but guess what, thats life and thats why we are reminded every day, that before you take that step, before you open our mouth and before you do anything, that you know and become well aware of your surrounding and the result of your actions because you can never go back.

There is no one to blame by yourself, and Im not trying to rub it in. But how can you sit there and act as if you are the victim? You're not, ure not different than myself or anyone here. Yes you're human and you made a grave mistake, but you know what, You gotta accept it and do something to make a difference. So if that means you have to spend the rest of your life, defending your self, and proving to others that you're not a so called racist or biggot or ignorant bastid, guess what .. you're going to have to.

No one can help you this time, you're on your own.

Posted by: The truth is.. at January 28, 2005 01:39 PM

stop lying!
lol @more than 40 people
stop playin yaself..there was that at most i give it 60 all together..less than half the block everyone standing around doing nada and occasional chants..press was there more than anything
cops chillin like nothin

Posted by: lol at January 28, 2005 01:42 PM

That is what we want, a civilized protest. This shit isn't about hate, you negative fuck. Its all about press coverage. Quality or people not Quantity. Like SpeakUP said, baby steps, this should get a reaction regardless. If not then a larger more organized rally will follow.

Posted by: L at January 28, 2005 01:45 PM

j smooth, thank you. you rock my man.

and todd lynn is such a blundering pathetic victim. i have no pity. maybe he'll gain just a little bit of humility, or at least shut the hell up since his career is on the skids, and seems to be all he cares about. wow, he has *asian family* i'm sure they understand.

and believe me, we in nyc are NOT gonna let up on hot97 & emmis. no way no how. commitment is not an issue here. this issue will take time to be handled appropriately. one protest is not necessarily expected to be enough.

Here is the email address of the FCC to file your complaint (be sure to include all of the information below in your email in addition to your comments): fccinfo@fcc.gov

The broadcast in question: "The Tsunami Song"
Date aired: Morning of January 21st 2005 (multiple airings)
Station call letters: WQHT-New York (Hot 97)
Offending DJs: Miss Jones and Todd Lynn
Offending lyrics

Posted by: Do The Right Thing at January 28, 2005 01:49 PM

I am pretty angry about Ms. Hill's comments about Hot97 and free speech.

This whole controversy is not about free speech, it's about decency to the mourning in a time of trouble. If someone would have posted the same thing about 9/11, sure it is free speech, but it is horribly distasteful. I am sure that Ms. Hill would have a completely different take if people were coming in saying on American radio that they were happy 9/11 occurred and that America deserved it and God was laughing down at all the white people that were buried in the building. That's disgusting, but she is saying that that same exact thing is ok to put on a public channel. How much more would be outraged if other countries were doing that to us?

If anyone was on the air mocking 9/11 in the United States, then there would be an outrage. It seems that Ms. Hill has no idea how to place herself in anyone else's shoes.

I'm absolutely disgusted.

Posted by: yeah at January 28, 2005 01:52 PM

Ms. Hill is just as ignorant as those stupid uneducated individuals Miss Jones and Todd Lynn.
If her family died in the 911 tragedy and I made fun of that and called it freedom of speech, all hell would break loose. There is a difference between blatant racism and freedom of speech.

Posted by: Do The Right Thing at January 28, 2005 01:54 PM

I was there. I counted about 100+ people not including the media and council members. It was freezing out there. Mad props for all those that showed up and had signs.

Posted by: fubabee at January 28, 2005 01:58 PM

Thanks for the updated, Fubabee! :-) Glad to hear that. Did Emmis come out and say something?

Posted by: June at January 28, 2005 02:00 PM

I think people have to realize that being a minority does not make someone non-racist no matter their actions. Being a victim of racism does not mean you're incapable of being racist. Trying to pass it off as humor CAN make it not racist but you have to know how to do it.

Todd Lynn doesn't understand any of that. His lame excuses makes it worse. A lot of people don't understand that too, no matter what their race. But the fact is most of those people aren't in media and don't get to spread their racism on public airwaves.

And this definitely shouldn't be an Asian vs Black thing. This is
1) an affront to human dignity
2) blatant racism toward Asians by people who probably know how racism feels, yet choose to propagate it.

By making it an Asian vs Black thing people are trying to force blacks who are against racism to either abandon their race or abandon anti-racism. Don't make it this. I know the first instinct for a lot of Asians is to start slinging anti-black terms and it's just what the radio station wants.

Posted by: BC at January 28, 2005 02:06 PM

I just got back from the rally in NYC. I would estimate the number of people present at the protest to be between 100 to 200 people. Definitely more than 40 as was mentioned above. ABC was the only major network news to cover the story (ironic isn't it, huh?), but there were many others like Regional Network News and SINO TV. Representatives from the NAACP were present as well as other non-asian organizations to show their support against not only racism but the lack of human decency and compassion. Council Man Liu even rallied the everyone to sing the original "We Are The World" at one point. I thought that was kinda corny, but whatever. Overall, I felt it got the word out even more and it really does put the ball back in Emmis Corp's court. Let's see what is their next move.

Posted by: AngryLittleAsianMan at January 28, 2005 02:07 PM

Sorry for the delayed reply. I'm at work with the occassional check-in to the site.

There were at least 100 people there when I left and I left at 11:30am, I was freezing and had to head to work. It was very calm. Lots of great signs. Not as many African Americans as I would have liked, but still a few there nonetheless. The press was very much on hand.

My friend in LA said he saw it on TV and it looked huge!

Posted by: AFRO- NYC at January 28, 2005 02:08 PM

What!!!only 40 people show up. No wonders, it not on the news!
Come on people, we can do better than that. We should have another protest, any body with me?

Posted by: zen at January 28, 2005 02:09 PM

I have to agree some what with what Todd is saying.

Things do get taken out of context especially in the heat of the moment. Things get said, and if you ever noticed the context of the argument against Miss Info, it was mainly on her stepping out of the group. Though I disagree with Miss Jones point of airing her opinion in public (rather than a private discourse), it was obvious that it was mainly focused on cliques and groups rather than the race thing.

Now with regards to Todd's remarks, I am deeply offensed, but I do understand his point. And to tell you the truth it does seem like Jay Smooth doesn't want to hear him out.

Despite ALL of this though, and I feel bad that Todd's career is the result, it HAS to be done, an example must be made, and Higher standards must be upheld in radio broadcasting.

Though he may not be racist, his remarks incense people who are, and justify both their opinions and their attitudes towards asians.

My 2 cents

Posted by: phunkadelic at January 28, 2005 02:10 PM

if this was about "freedom of speech" & 1st ammendment rights, then why did so many journalists with dissenting or critical views of american foreign policy post 9/11 get blacklisted? fox news, which is notorious for their partisan funding and newscasting, know all about "free speech."

obviously this isn't about free speech. it's about personal and ethical responsility in the media.
i wish no ill will against lynn personally, but the man should not be given a mic on the public platform. he can't even type. what the eff, DUDE? find another day job.

and yes, mad props to the protesters today.

Posted by: rainer8 at January 28, 2005 02:11 PM

phunkadelic: in what way did you think that jay wasn't willing to hear him out? I didn't see that at all...I'm not attacking you, I'd just like to see how you saw that

Posted by: butter at January 28, 2005 02:14 PM

There were probably around 150 protestors. I think many more would have shown up if the protest wasn’t scheduled in the middle of a weekday.

Anyway, they *just* shot the thing, so don't expect to see or read about it in mainstream media until this evening.

Posted by: tony at January 28, 2005 02:15 PM

He really is full of it. Anyways we can not allow this kind of behavior to continue and we have to stand firm. I know that days and weeks will go by and they think this will blow over but I plan to boycott anything that has to do with hot 97 and will continue to unless they are fired. They may think that it will quiet donw but when their pockets books starts to hurt a little they will know what's up. This is all I am capable of right now. It doesn't sound like much but it is a start. We can not stay silent and let them think it is ok. I tell it to whoever and to those that has a platform to speak is better. I am outraged and I hope they get fired.

Posted by: Ms.T at January 28, 2005 02:18 PM

phunkadelic, how did Jay not want to hear him out? He asked for his side of the story and asked for the context that todd was taken out of multiple times, Todd dodge every attempt, finally just leaving and saying he's afraid his words might get twisted.

Todd knew he had nothing, he was basically appealing to Jay to lay off of him because he's getting harrassed at home. Good job Jay for standing your ground!

Posted by: Jack Wang at January 28, 2005 02:20 PM

phunkadelic -

there's a difference between bagging on miss info for being not with the group and bringing up race. Miss Jones MADE race into an issue.

The tsunami song could be just a horribly tasteless attempt at humor. But again they CHOSE to make it about race by using racial slurs. It wasn't about race until they MADE it.

Todd Lynn flat out said "I'm going to start shooting Asians". Again making it about race. I don't buy his "clipping mic" story one bit.

Why do people say they're racist? Because they are. Why bring up racial issues so much? Miss Jones could've told Miss Info "Bitch, you're being disruptive to the group." The song could've said "Asians" instead of using racial slurs. Todd Lynn flat out shouldn't have threatened violence toward anyone. If those three things went that way, then this wouldn't be a racial issue. It would be purely a matter of poor taste.

They made a poor "joke" into a poor, RACIST joke.

Posted by: BC at January 28, 2005 02:21 PM

he says it was a mistake yeah well i know people make mistakes but their are consquences too. They have to pay and in this case it will cost them their JOBS!! You can't go out commit a crime and get fined and a slap on the wrist. You have to do time and or whatever else that will be JUST! Believe me what they did was a crime not just against asians or the victums but against humanity!!

Posted by: Ms. T at January 28, 2005 02:23 PM

you feel bad for Todd Lynn Phunkadelic? well boo fucking hoo, he made a mistake and he's paying for it like he should..did we all feel sorry for Rush Limbaugh?..NO.. and what he said was MILD in comparison to what that fucking lame ass crew at HOT 97 did. Fuck this 2nd chance shit, they got no morals and if it took this incident to wake something up inside of them then good, they'll learn not to be so fucking heartless and racist at whatever their next job may be, but I doubt they learned any valuable lesson here.

Todd Lynn,

You must be the stupidest person ever,

ever heard of "think before you do something"

or ever heard of "there are consequences?"

and ever ehard of "what goes aroudn comes around"

you see, u didn't answer any of his questions above,


and the fact that you're denying that what u said was racist, shows that u are not sorry enough,

so as i said, what goes aroudn comes around, now everybody hates you, that was what u was aiming for when u wrote the song, and wanted to shoot asians,


burn in hell motherfucker.

The protest had a great turn out! We had little space behind the barricades and we filled it up! Glad to see people of all races there in support. And many senior citizens, too!

Mean is the new sexy across your radio dial
Ellis Henican

January 28, 2005

Wait a second! Haven't we heard this static before?

Some radio station hires a loudmouth morning host to goose the Arbitrons and make the groggy listeners spray mouthfuls of coffee into the air: "Oh, my God! Did he just say what I think he said?"

And then this very same morning jerk goes on the air and says something predictably offensive and - whoa, station executives are suddenly shocked, shocked, shocked!

A shock jock shocking? Well, who exactly did they think they were hiring here? Doctor Phil?

Which brings us, of course, to Hot 97 (WQHT-FM), where morning ring-mistress Miss Jones is now suspended indefinitely, along with her six-person on-air crew, for repeatedly airing a parody song that poked fun at the people who died in the Asian tsunamis.

Now there's a real knee-slapper, huh? A couple of hundred thousand dead! To the tune of "We Are the World," Miss Jones' twisted ditty mixed anti-Asian slurs with floating bodies and orphaned kids.

City Council member John Liu wasn't charmed one bit. He and some other local Asian pols raised the first public ruckus. They're planning a sidewalk rally today, demanding that Emmis Broadcasting, Hot 97's owner, dump Miss Jones and sidekick Todd Lynn for good.

But it was McDonalds, Sprint and other bolting advertisers who really seemed to grab the attention of Emmis president Rick Cummings. "Morally and socially indefensible ... ashamed and deeply sorry," Cummings said.

Now, the Hot 97 tsunami-yuck-it-uppers aren't the only local radio talent finding their giggles in strange places these days. And the future of in-your-face radio isn't shifting just because of one nasty parody song.

At New Jersey's WKXW-FM, host Craig Carton was ragging mercilessly on the psychiatric and medical history of the new governor's wife. Mary Jo Codey has suffered well documented bouts of postpartum depression and cancer.

"What Governor [Richard] Codey ought to do is approve the use of medical marijuana so women can have a joint and relax instead of putting their babies in a microwave," Carton allowed.

The governor probably should have exhaled a moment before flying into a stupid rage. Instead, he surrendered the aggrieved-husband high road and threatened to assault the radio host.

"I wish I weren't governor," the Star-Ledger quoted Codey as telling his tormentor in the station hallway. "I'd take you out."

The governor quibbled with the quote, but just a little. "I didn't say I would take him out," he insisted. "I said I would take him outside. When you're Irish, you take them outside, not out."

Either way, these two probably deserve each other.

And something else is hard to dispute. Both Miss Jones and Craig Carton are idiots, same as WNEW-FM's Opie and Anthony were idiots for running that public-sex stunt 2 1/2 years ago in St. Patrick's Cathedral.

Even on the radio, some things just aren't funny, including massive drowning deaths, sex in the pews and a wife's mental illness.

But none of this is happening in a vacuum, and outgoing FCC Chairman Michael Powell deserves at least some of the blame.

Under Powell's iron hand, the Federal Communication Commission went on a four-year rampage against "indecency" on the air. Coming from his mouth, indecency was always a code word for one thing: S-E-X. Nothing else is ever indecent to him.

So CBS was hit with giant fines for Janet Jackson's Super Bowl "wardrobe malfunction." Opie and Anthony were chased to the barren prairie of XM satellite radio, where no one (including the listeners) is paying much attention to them. Howard Stern was leaned on 'til he announced he's going satellite, too, to XM competitor Sirius.

And up and down the radio dial, second-string hosts with no imagination and middling talent decided to take the easy way out. Instead of talking dirty, they started talking mean.

They traded in the sex stunts and the nipple flashes for the shrink files and the bodies on the beach.

Aren't there any clever grown-ups left in radio-land? You tell me which is more obscene.

hot 97 is already advertising a tsunami concert with the American Red Cross and Virgin Records. Everyone should contact them and let them know exactly what type of organization they are associating themselves with. The hypocrisy is stifling. also you can contact miss jones at missjones@missjones.net

Yet another group of unfunny Howard Stern clones with bad judgement. Although I'll exempt Miss Info from my bad judgement comment. I feel for the poor girl, having to deal with that nitwit Jones.

I liked Jin's diss, and his comments on-air. The man makes a lot of sense.

And if it's wrong for non-blacks to use the N-Word, black folks better sure as hell not run around calling Asians "chinks"!

Posted by: TFF at January 28, 2005 04:17 PM

I could of let that whole shooting Asians statement go as a joke if it was totally under a different situation. But he said it while Jones and Info was having what seemed like a pretty heated and emotional argument about the Tsunami song. I mess around with my friends of different races all the time with dumb remarks. But that's between us and not on the radio with an audience. I can even let it slide if it was on the radio under different circumstances. I can believe that he's not a racist and even he was sorry about it. It was just very insensitive thing to say that was said at the wrong time. But I also believe that he was not straight forward in the IM conversation Jay Smooth had with him. He kept saying we don't have all the facts. But he never tells us the facts when Jay asked about them. And when Jay calls him out on how he's not giving us the facts...he keeps going off about how he's not a racist.

Posted by: SPdoubleON at January 28, 2005 04:36 PM

I can understand wanting to have a little fun with this, but in all fairness, there are plenty of intelligent people who don't have a knack for spelling or grammar. Just have to throw that in there.

Posted by: Jay Smooth at January 28, 2005 09:25 PM

They're still part of the company.
They can't wait to get back on the air.
People want you to stop pushing.
They'll say anything to have you stop.
They'll hide behind 'suspended indefinately'.
All while planning their return in a week, maybe before.
Some people think that pushing down others will make them feel better about themselves.
They don't realize that the ditch that we are all in just got dug deeper.
People want you to spout racism and stupidity out of frustration. Many falter and hurt the cause.
More national and international organizations need to condemn this song or face irrelevance.
It's not the words of the evil people, it's the silence of the good people.

National and international media need to see that all associated with the song think that this suspension is just a joke. They laugh about it to each other, but want the world to believe they are sorry.

Posted by: people lie at January 28, 2005 09:25 PM

Jay,

How about having Todd Lynn give an on air interview via call-in your show tommorow evening? Or better yet live?!? He should be given an opportunity to answer your questions live and undoctored so that the people can hear for themselves how "sincere" his appologies are.

I actually believe he is sorry he got caught. What I'm really concerned about is....that if what he says is true and Miss Jones didn't have anything to do with the Lyrics...then who did? Obviously after the "racist" personalities have long lost there jobs...someone out there the mastermind "producer" may still have a job.

Let's shed light on whom else behind the scene is responsible for this bullisht.

Obviously that does not relieve him of any responsibilities. He still had time to make a wise decision and not partake in the whole fiasco like fellow co-worker Miss Info.

Anyhow.....

Jay let him on air during tomorrow's show. That would be interesting.

Peace
Rich

Posted by: Richie Poor at January 28, 2005 09:26 PM

From all accounts, Miss Jones had nothing to do with putting the song together (although that does not excuse her from her part in putting on the air by repeatedly playing it). The producer of the show has his hands all over it. I initially thought she had written the song and produced it, but I was corrected about that a few days ago.

Posted by: AFRO-NYC at January 28, 2005 09:37 PM

Really interesting concept on having Hot 97 license revoked and handing it over to the public.

"If Emmis does anything less than replace the whole team (GM, GSM, OPS Director, Program Director, and morning crew), the license should be revoked, and other people should be given a shot at using this radio frequency for the good of the community." - Anj

Guess we can only dream.

Posted by: Richie Poor at January 28, 2005 09:42 PM

none of his statements have been "doctored" at any point in this, to my knowledge. But Todd is more than welcome to call in to the show tomorrow night. I don't have the impression he would be interested in this, however.

Yes, I also believe he is "sorry he got caught," which is different from being sorry for what you did.

In all seriousness, though, I actually really feel sorry for Todd Lynn. I'm not happy to see hardship fall upon anybody, no matter what the reasons. But everything that befalls him here is a consequence of his choices, and his actions. Blaming me for this makes no sense, my site just happened to be the conduit through which the public expressed their outrage, and if it wasn't here it would have happened somewhere else eventually.

I agree that the producer of the show, Rick Delgado, must be held fully acccountable, along with the other staff. And the management most of all. This fiasco clearly shows that Hot 97 needs fundamental changes as an institution.

Posted by: Jay Smooth at January 28, 2005 09:49 PM

It would be a shame, but not a surprise if only the DJ's get fired. I guess I'm also curious about Ms Info. If everyone returns to work after the suspensions, I wonder if she will work with them.

Posted by: AFRO-NYC at January 28, 2005 09:52 PM

I don't know Jay, I really can't feel badly for him. I guess I can feel sorry for anyone who doesn't know right from wrong or comical from very bad taste. How old do you have to be to be held responsible for your actions? How mature do you have to be to understand the consequences of your actions. I believe these people got so caught up in their "fame" that they forgot that there are REAL people in the world to which they must answer. When you are not a "celebrity" you can get away will things sometimes, but when you become a "personality" things change. I don't think they had any support from anyone within their communities/ close friends/ mentors to help them through their rise to fame. That hopefully will change.

Posted by: AFRO-NYC at January 28, 2005 09:56 PM

im southeast asian too and like my man 2pac said, he don't represent every mutha fuckin black person out there so peeps needa quit gettin this shit twisted and turning it into some racial beef between Blacks vs Asians it aint bout that, its bout 3 assholes who step over the line. the actions of one man don't make it the actions of an entire race and the last thing i wanted to see is tension between blacks and asians but it looks like it has. they might not be expressing it but i know a lot of asians and blacks sayin Fuck each other under they breath but theres people like that in all ethnics ya'll just gotta learn to deal wit it

Posted by: sophan at January 28, 2005 10:43 PM

after reading this, i don't understand his logical and his reason why he behaved in that manner...i think he's just looking for something or someone to blame so that he could go back to work...like come on..how can you not think it's not going to get big especially if you're going to mock the dead and calling people chinks? that is some serious and sensitive issues. and other stupid thing is to said he's going to shoot asians.. is he planing to use asians as a shooting target?

Posted by: kimshhawnee at January 28, 2005 10:55 PM

It's about time there's a fundamental change in the way things work. Perhaps that is why for the most part, we are all paying attention and speaking out.

As hard as it may seem at times, with all the haters and the negativity, at the end of the day we know we are fighting for human dignity and the right to be respected.


Some people may think that the song was funny. That's their opinion and that's fine because it's their opinion. (I don't think it's funny at ALL.)


Some people's attitude may be that they had a right to play it because of the freedom of expression, our right as citizens.


But it is the BELIEF that we should respect human life that is causing us to be vocal. It's their blatant lack of respect for people who have lost their ENTIRE FAMILY, and in some cases, their entire world, that's making us angry.


It is sad that those who abused their privilege incurred bad consequences for those who got caught in the middle. (I feel a little bad for all those people who work at the station, who had nothing to do with it.)


But THINK TODD & JONES. THINK. WHAT IF ONE DAY YOU WOKE UP AND LOST EVERYTHING YOU'VE EVER KNOWN?


I can't even begin to imagine the despair.


I really think in order to make things right, those responsible need to be sent to Asia to volunteer to help rebuild lives. That's the only way to show that they are sorry for what they've done.

Posted by: fubabee at January 28, 2005 10:55 PM

They cannot be made to go to Asia, so that's out. At the same time, would that satisfy you? If Emmis told them that if they went to Asia to assist in the relief effort and when they came back, they had their jobs, would that satisfy you?

Posted by: AFRO-NYC at January 28, 2005 10:59 PM

hey

that was freakin funny. i am just amazed abt how such people can feed themselves

Jay, wonderful job!

Posted by: coolchap at January 28, 2005 11:04 PM

'All involved, myself included, are ashamed and deeply sorry.' said Rick Cummings. If so, why the song was played for four days and those racists are still in your payroll. Whom are you fooling?

Posted by: tell the truth at January 28, 2005 11:43 PM

I was in the protest rally this morning from 11 to 12:20. people claimed that there were less than 200 protesters needed to go back to first grade to learn how to count. On top of it, don't forget today is a regular business day. If the rally were held during weekend, I guarantee you that thousands would be there!

Posted by: jo at January 29, 2005 01:46 AM

it isn't just about racism...

people need to realize it is about insensitivity to tragedy. How could anyone find what happened to these people in this tragedy funny enough to make such a stupid song about it?!!!

Posted by: SUZEE at January 29, 2005 03:38 AM

Damn Jay,

Very well done. Canada's got their ears perked too. This is the kind of accountability measure we should being doing everywhere! Also, contacting the companies was brilliant. In my estimation, people are so jaded about what the big bad corporation thinks, that they never really try to reach them. You did it. Congrats!


Todd clearly is consumed with figuring out what to change his name to, because you know he just got blacklisted.

I'm curious to find out what happened to Miss Info.

Posted by: Shuttabugg at January 29, 2005 03:55 AM

I saw the protest this morning on the "Good Day Live" show....there were alot of people there. Good job guys!

Posted by: Sky at January 29, 2005 04:17 AM

In all of this one thing strikes me.
People are completely over looking the fact that the song also talked about DEAD AFRICANS!.

Yet nobody is saying anything about it. And here is why, it has become de riguer or the NORM for these black acts to get up there and completely demonize and demoralise other black folk and women. AN THEY LET THEM GET AWAY WITH IT.
Black women complained.. it fell on deaf ears, black men complained.. it fell on deaf ears...

These people have been boosted by this, notice how black America feels it's okay to denigrate AFricans, because we have laughed at the 'African jokes' a lot of people feel...
As long as I make a joke about people who are not in this country it's fine.

Well.. As a black African woman, I can say IT IS NOT FINE, it is not okay.

These buffoons don't even realise when they are victimising themselves.

One word. BOYCOTT. Anything that involves them, but not just them. the higher ups.
Don't ever forgive them for their blatant disregardn for human life.
I don't give a hoot, if the tsunami victims were white, asian, black, African, American, Chineese, Iraqi's, Pakistanis.. it doesn't mean a thing.

To make fun of a natural disaster as well as child sex slavery!. Is abominable.
NEVER FUNNY

Posted by: soul at January 29, 2005 04:54 AM

"We Are the World" was originally written to support the starving people of Africa.

The very least that we can do for the victims of the tsunami is make fun of them. This is not just a race issue. This is a human issue.

Posted by: don't forget at January 29, 2005 10:16 AM

don't u mean 'the very least we can do for the vicitms of the tsunami is not make fun of them.'

Posted by: lolz at January 29, 2005 10:27 AM

This whole thing is receiving too much attention. I listen to the show daily and quite frankly I miss them, they are funny as hell, the song was wrong but it was still funny at the same time. If you are a listener then you are aware that they spoof on things all the time, who cares if Todd Lynn called Russell Simmons a coon, it is what it is... Nas uses the term coon all through is new album why isnt he receiving negative attention for it. This morning show is one of the best, racism is streaming all up and down this country, media esp and no one else is chastised or castrated for it like the show was.

Posted by: Nay at January 29, 2005 10:39 AM

What if someone white called Russell Simmons a coon. Would you sit back and take the joke?

What if a white musician had coon throughout their records. Would you sit back and accept it?


Any support of these racist individuals goes directly against the civil rights movement.

I don't think anyone of any color should support this message of hate.

Any African Americans that blindly support Hot 97 gives up their right to complain against other races targeting them in the future. Racism is racism. There are no degrees. It is either right or it is wrong. Face it.

Furthermore, any Asians who target African Americans with racism either because of this song, or in their daily lives have absolutely nothing to complain about. You can not demand justice just in this case and not demand it in others. Face it.

Racism of any kind is wrong. Remember that in your actions, one way or the other.

Posted by: people be stupid at January 29, 2005 12:38 PM

some white news reporter stuttered and said coon on air. he didn't directly come out and said you are a coon.
but guess what. he got fired. for a slip up. that pales in comparison to the racism so proudly displayed here.

Posted by: v at January 29, 2005 12:42 PM

Anyone have that bitch Ed Hilll email or who I can email and complain. She needs to go as well.

Posted by: jason chew at January 29, 2005 01:04 PM

Nay, it's obvious that you have a very simple mind.. no need to infect the rest of us with your idiocy.
And lets be factual Nas does NOT use the word coon throughout his new album, he used it on one song and you it is very much a contextual description as those people he intended to address.
He did not level that an entire race. He specifically called out certain people for doing certain things.
This is completely different.
And the sad thing about it is .. you are too ignorant and illiterate to understand that.

Of course you find their spoofs funny, you are on their level which is one stop shy of ignoramous.

You know, it wouldn't hurt you to actuallty back away from the radio and open up a bloody book.
Get a life idiot.

And again, I'll say it, people are still so stuck on the fact that they insulted the asian population are willingly overlooking the fact that they insulted AFRICANS!
Because lets face it, no one gives a toss.

Posted by: soul at January 29, 2005 03:20 PM

NAY,

just because racism happens often doesn't make it right. just because other racist comments weren't subjected to boycott and media attention doesn't make it right.

again, the reason this is receiving so much media attention is not only because racism was involved. it is also because it makes light of the fact that tens of thousands of people lost their lives in the tsunami tragedy.
not only lives are lost but entire communities have been swept away.
ENTIRE families are gone.
thousands of children lost their parents and are orphaned.
and not only were asians the victims of this tragedy but people from all over the world that were vactioning there.

do you realize that this issue doesn't affect just asian americans? this affects EVERYONE.
the DJS insensitivity and ignorance should digust everyone that has heard about the tsunami song and the illogical banter that went back and forth between the DJ before airing of the song.

as someone has wisely stated above "IT's A HUMAN ISSUE."

Posted by: meena at January 29, 2005 06:31 PM

I agree with soul. These talentless idiots insulted Asians as well as Africans. To me they are nothing more than ignorant buffoons. Check out the Hot 97 playlist. Should we really be surprised about THIS nonsense? What about the higher-ups at the station. How come they didn't put a stop to this crap in the beginning instead of letting it continue until complaints had to be made?


P.S. check out Krs One's "The Racist" on the Edutainment album.

It's funny to me whenever a racist person claims not to be racist when they know for a fact that THEY ARE RACIST BIGGOTS! I can understand that racist people still exists in America today, but why the fuck would you make a song about 200,000 ( and counting ) victims, not to mention their children!..... I wonder who the smart guy was who found that funny. Someone please explain to me how the hell that was funny? Seriously I fail miserably to see the humor. Please don't tell me his dumb ass considered that an apology, that was anything BUT an apology. Not like apologizing gonna do anyone any good anyway...Racist people always say some dumb shit like that "I'm not racist I have alotta black friends" WTF? good for you! you wanna fukin cookie?! gives a fuck if you have asian family members, how the hell does that change the fact that you're a fukin biggot racist no talent wannabe rapper? Just admit that you're freakin wrong, I hope the souls of the victims (all 200,000 of them) find it in their hearts to forgive you, oh no wait on second thought, I DON'T! I REALLY HONESTLY DON'T! I HOPE YOU BURN IN HELL FOR DENYING THE FACT THAT YOU"RE A RACIST

Posted by: Ny Chau at January 29, 2005 11:49 PM

I just read the transcript of the convo between Jay Smooth and Todd Lynn... honestly, I wish Todd Lynn would just stop making excuses and accept his fault. Ms.Jones too! I would LOVE to see Jay Smooth talk to her 'bout her crimes... that'd be interesting indeed. I'd love to see how she would rationalize "you think you're superior because your asian"... that'd be a good show to see.

Everyone should know though, that even tho Todd Lynn, Ms.Jones, and Hot 97 are in hot water for shit they did, doesn't give anyone a right to go and call them names. I was reading some comments on Trickology, and some of the people who are callin' them names and shit don't look any better right now. Don't go sinking to their level.

In any case, I also wanna say that I emailed UNICEF about the matter. I wonder if anyone thought to do that. Harry Belafonte was the one who initially conjured up "We are the world", and the Tsunami Song completely scars his message of peace and love. I haven't gotten a reply back yet, but I think it might be a good idea for people to email UNICEF and Harry Belafonte as well if possible.

Posted by: DaveWong at January 30, 2005 01:13 AM

Dave Wong, I'm curious as to how you think the tsunami song completely scars Harry Belafonte's we are the worlld song? (really I''m just curious).
Because to me, the 'We are the world song is a completely seperate issue and should be treated as such.
saying this song scars it, to me gives too much credance to a bunch of selfish, overpaid idiots.

Why are they selfish, well, because a tragedy is a tragedy if it affects them and them only.
Hence 3,000 people in NY is a tragedy and should only be honoured
200,000 people in Asia - are comedy fodder.

The greedy because all they can see right now is the effect on their 'green' (money).
Todd Lynn, says oh it's affecting his credibility and shutting him down and that he is 'not right' therefore his sins should be overlooked.
Talk about asking for special treatment.
It doesn't matter who wrote it, it doesn't matter who sang it. All the people in the room that day who didn't protest or walk out are culpable. it is that simple.
Collective responsibility.

You know you guys attack Todd Lynn and Miss Jones yet Miss Info was also part of this song. NO ONE even mentions that yet everyone wanna come down on Miss Jones & Todd Lynn, please all of y'all Asian NEEDS to get a life!!! If you going to blame one or two you best believe Miss Info had a lot to do with the song. She did partake in the making of the song. That's because she's Asian and she knows y'all Asian won't get mad at another Asian yet its plain as can see y'all Asian are BIGOTS and dumb stupid as beans!!! Go protest on the part Miss Info partook in the song. IDIOTS!!! Miss Info sold you “ASIANS” out and played her colleague as if she had nothing to do with that song!!! Again, y’all bunch of imbeciles!!!

Posted by: FUCK MISS INFO at January 30, 2005 03:55 PM

well in my opinion, the tsunami song scars "we are the world" because of the message that the tsunami song brings vs. what belafonte's original track brought to the world. Perhaps "scars" is too strong of a word, but if it were me, I would hate to know that my song was used for something so horrible. Well, also... if someone heard the Tsunami song, but never heard "We are the world", then immediately, when they hear that melody, even if it's Belafonte's song actually playing, they'd think "Tsunami song". That's my opinion anyway.

And I dunno what "FUCK MISS INFO" is talkin' about really... I didn't hear Ms Info's vocals on the recording, and she tried her best to withdraw herself from being a part of the song. Ms Jone's even cussed at her for that, making a comment about how Ms Info was just upset that she wasn't asked to help with the song, or something like that. The only way she was a part of it all was because she was there when they played it. But how can you blame someone for being at work? lol... sure, if I were in her position, I would've probably quit because I don't need to be involved with such ignorance, but she has her own reasons for wanting to stay. So "FUCK MISS INFO", if you've got proof that she had any involvement with the track, please share, because I think a lot of people, and myself don't believe a word of what you're sayin'.

Hey Fuck Miss Info,
Look for the extended clip of this song... in that version, you'll hear the argument that really started this whole mess. They were introducing the song and Miss Info made it known, on air, that she had NOTHING to do with the song. At this point is when Todd and Jonesy started arguing with her and ended with Miss Jones saying "you think you're superior cause you're Asian..." and Todd saying he's "gonna shoot some asians."

Sounds to me like you're ignoring facts or just want to believe what you want...

Listen, Nay, why don't you go pay Miss Jones and Todd Lynn a visit? I'm sure they've got nothing else to do. If they step outside their houses, best believe they'll get spit on. You can tell each other, HILARIOUS racist jokes and justify them with the fact that racism is eeeverywhere! So what if you add a little more, right?

It appears as if Todd Lynn has not yet graduated from 3rd grade. Someone said Jay Smooth was not trying to hear him out? Hear what? Weak, vague, whiny bitch apologies?

"Wah, wah, I'm Todd Lynn, I'm on vacation."

Lose your family, your home, your country and have someone shit on you for it. Then we'll hear you out, motherfucker.

if a white dude used the n-word or something similar even for comic reasons the black comunity would be in an upror. so Todd and the rest of the crew stop your crying and face the music.

I don't think "FUCK MISS INFO" had paid attention to anything. He/she just know that there's this big thing against Jones and Todd but nothing else. Atleast read around for more information before making yourself look stupid.

Posted by: Muddie MuRda at February 1, 2005 09:10 AM

well first of all, the day this aired on the news i sent an email to hot 97, if they have read it i hope they feel the hurt that they have caused millions, but probably not b/c they seem to think everthing is so funny. i am very offended by this song, although i am american my husband and my son is from asia! even if i wasnt to hear a song about a tree in someones head, how can anyone have the heart to even say that about anyone. anyways, no matter what we do, they will never feel the hurt like these victims and their families are feeling right now. no email could ever match up to that pain, no public humiliation... nothing. and in my opinion an apology isnt gonna make this go away! its not gonna make these people snap out of it and forget about this. this is to hot 97: i want to know how it feels to have the word "racism" and "discrimination" directed at you?? imagine every small thing this is what peopls say? b/c you cant get a job "racism" b/c ur last in line "racism" b/c they went to jail "racism, its no fun right? but the highlight of this is, racism doesnt even define what you have done to these people!

Posted by: jessica at February 1, 2005 04:00 PM

and who the hell is the stupid "FUCK MISS INFO"?? well i heard it and miss info oblected to playing the song!! miss jones fucking bitch got mad b/c she wanted to be the center of attention i guess, but look where it got her! NOT FAR ENUFF apparently. whatever, u need to stop getting the attention off her ghetto ass, that bitch is the one who wanted to play and and she got mad b/c an asian objected to it!!
what is a white person played a song with the word "nigga" in it?? that shit would be off the radio, gangstas be shooting them blah blah blah what the fuck!!! they would be up in court with a lawsuit for "discrimination" exactly my point in my last comment.
these dumbasses dont have nothing better to do than to pick on someone who cant help their situation, thats like making fun of a handicapped! how can ya do it?

Posted by: jessica at February 1, 2005 04:09 PM

What does anyone gain from getting anyone fired. More people on the unemployment rolls. What asians who have always played the fence when it came to issues of race, Asians who have always picked and choosed when they wanted to heaped in with other minorities or now crying about racisim. Question How many of the people complainig about the show actually listen to it?????????? If you dont want to listen dont listen. The free market society we live in would then dictate that these people be fired but all this anger and rage should be directed at some thing constructive. All this does is give a couple politicans some tv time and give mis directed people the feeling of being community activist. How about boycotting the Games new album so that future artist will stop advertising the gang culture that has damaged our community more than any jokes and hs caused more deaths then the tsunami. GET A LIFE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

that's some effed up spelling and typing there todd.

Posted by: Jennifer at February 1, 2005 07:49 PM

socrates, you cannot qualify tragedy by the number killed. If I were to say that 9/11 is trivial in comparison to the tsunami because only 3000 people died there, whereas 300,000 have lost their lives because of the tsunami, no doubt you would be offended. The deaths of innocent people is no light matter, regardless of how it occurs. The hurt that Asian community feel has as much to do with the racial prejudice expressed against them in the song as it does sympathy for the victims of the tsunami who have been callously made fun of by the creators of the song.

It is equally unfair to ignore the fact that prejudice and racism has been effected against Asians simply because you feel some Asians are politically hypocritical. America is supposed to be a tolerant country where people of all races should be allowed to live without fear of racism. Would I be right to ignore racist comments about a black person even if the person himself did not care? For tolerance and understanding to exist, prejudice of any kind must be addressed, even if the victim chooses to ignore it. It is not fair to say that prejudice against Asians is ok simply because you think some Asians have "played the fence."

I am sorry to have read your comment and to see that such poor reasoning has lead you to essentially turn a blind eye to a great injustice to done to both the Asian community and the victims of the tsunami.

what about the line "there were africans drownding"??????????? nobody saying that was racist against africans?!?! stop trying to make a name for your bulsh8t website off the bakcs of a funny azz song just cause you dont have a sense of humor

Posted by: stopit at February 2, 2005 08:49 AM

stopit, what if the song had said "there were niggers drowning" and was sung by white DJs on a country station with a history for racist remarks?

there are two issues here. the song was offensive to Asians because of the racial slurs. In that sense, it was racist against Asians.

but it was ALSO offensive to all victims of the tsunami, including Africans, because it trivialized of a great tragedy that affected many, many ppl. however, no racials slurs were used about africans so in that sense, it was not racist against africans. it is still vulgar and done in poor taste, regardless.

if anything, stopit, you should feel sad that the DJs apparently felt no sympathy not only for asians devastated by the tsunami, but also for africans who were also equally affected.

Posted by: mmmm at February 2, 2005 11:33 AM

to me it seems the station is making him and rock take the brunt of it all and be the scapegoats. DJ NV does most of the singing on the song. Miss Jones said that Info needed to stand with them and then said "I need to talk to that bitch behind the scenes". I can swear miss jones voice is on the song too, singing the chorus. Todd probably had to sign some papers that said he would not implicte Miss Jones then they gave him some money.

Posted by: Josh at February 2, 2005 12:46 PM

I don't fell like Todd Lynn is a racist, he is just stupid and in dire need of a spell check button. I'm glad that he got fired but for me it's not enough. In the interview he is all taking up for Jones. Why?? Regardless of whether she hand in recording the song or not the name of the show is Miss Jones in the morning. She had a choice to say yes play it or no do not play it. Todd Lynn stop acting like a child and man up. The fact is you were wrong and you are being punished for it. End of story. P.S. I didn't like him all that much anyway. The dude from the Dave Chappelle show was corny but still funnier than Todd

Posted by: butterfly at February 2, 2005 02:07 PM

Fuck todd Lynn trying to sound like he was a victim. Miss Jones and her cohorts enjoyed playing that song thats why she continued to play it for a whole week and a half. All the attention and phone calls from listeners she was recieving. I called the station. The girl who answers the phone asked me why I wanted to get funky and who with. I told her I want to get funky with Miss Jones. She didn't think it was funny for Star to have a woman screaming and a plane crash after Aaliyah died but the song was okay??? Well obviously she didn't put me through.

Posted by: Butterfly at February 2, 2005 02:20 PM

Well as Miss Jones always says Todd Lynn, Oh Well Oh Well Cut you losses and keep it moving. I hate it when a grown man tries to beat around the bush just come out with the truth. The truth is Star and Buc was coming back to NY. Now Power 105.1 has been trying to top Hot 97 the day it aired its first broadcast but never made it to the top they always came second best. Now with everyone anticipating their arrival what better way to get some publicity than a scandal. Well they lost a listerner in me anyway the day they came back on the air. What Star did regarding Aaliyah was fucked up and I was proud on Jonzy for walking out because she didn't want to be apart of it, but for that bitch to jump on Info for standing up for her peoples and attack on air like that...totally unprofessional and un-ethical and most important hypocritical. I also have anew respect for Jin for speaking up for his peoples and for the dudes saying this is his way of getting attention, he is just trying to make money, Oh well so be it. If thats his agenda then go on because just like he said Who else is going to speak up for the Asians?" He's taking a chance because say he ever does come out with a club banger. Radio is going to be a big part of his success and his Hot 97 diss record could hurt that but he would rather speak up now. You ain't got no choice but to respect that man. Any way I have flipped the power switch if I going to listen to ignorance in the morning I'd rather it not be directed at 200,000 dead and missing Asians, Africans and whoever else lost their life to the Tsunami.

Posted by: candygirl at February 2, 2005 02:35 PM

I was listening to the radio the day E-Bro came on the air with the suspended indefinite announcement. Than he took calls on air. To my amazement Miss Jones had a lot of support. Now the reason behind their support was another thing. Being a black man of color I have experienced racism in this country. All I have to say is black people stop blaming everything on race. Some people called up and said well if they were white DJ's they wouldn't be getting this much attention. Well black folks thats on us. Just because we don't stand up and protest like we should when someone offends our race that doesn't mean all the other races are supposed to sit on the sidelines and laugh to. And we all know if this was a reversed situation and it was white folks clowning the deaths in Africa in a song parody everybody knows the first person to say something would be Al Sharpton with his loud ass mouth. I wonder where he is through this controversey. I guess he is not going to speak against his people whether they were wrong or not. Oh yeah I know why he hasn't spoken up yet, he is a friend of the show....

Posted by: dave at February 2, 2005 02:45 PM

anon,
the line "there were africans drowning" just simply proves they dont love themselves as a person. if you dont love yourself how can u love anyone else? including their own race. the dumbasses probably dont even realize what africa is they probably think thats in asia too, come on they are obviously uneducated and have some serious issues! look by the typing "mr. im not racist todd lynn" he cant spell very well. and its not funny, its not funny to africans and its definately not funny to asians, but also you didnt hear them say anything more about africans right? but they say chinks but you didnt hear them say a racist words against africans!! this is not a funny matter! by no means and what does this guy mean "150,000+ dead is not a big deal" what the hell that much more than 9/11 and people have the nerve to make 9/11 such a big theng and then make fun of this!! is this b/c tsunami didnt hit america? i guess thats what makes it so funny to these people, but if it happend here everyone would be so upset and you'd hear about it allllll the time.

Okay, these people are not worthy to be called a "true americans" b/c america just dont do that! okay! we help in any way we can! anyone who even would think this is a funny matter, they are just nobody!

I wonder if those peoples living in South East Asia wrote a similar song called "9-11 song", and played it over-and-over on the shortwave radio all over the world right after the WTC collapsed, how would the American feel - especially for those white trash such as E.D. Hill? And of course their "9-11 song" would substitute the words "tsunami" with "9-11", "Ch1nks" with "N1ggers" or "honkies", "drowning" with "burning", ...
well, you get my drift?

Todd was doomed the Day he started making jokes about Jesus Christ. I do not understand how on earth could he think that he would get away with this stupidity. Same thing happened with Opi and Anthony, they too made mockery in the House of GOD. These people are truly "IN-FIEDELS".

To all those who think they are invincible, this arrogance will get them some day or the other.

I was thinking of writing a song about those no good niggers who got lynched down south in the past, and how their wives and daughters got raped after the lynching. After writing the song, and getting some idiot to play on the air, I'll be outside shooting down some more niggers in the hood. Oh yeah, fuck all you wetbacks, japs, rednecks, faggots, greaseballs italians, and all you smelly rag heads!! See, I don't just hate blacks,...I hate everyone!
