shock jocks that deserve to be fired

The song aired twice on the "Miss Jones in the Morning" show on January 18, 2005. The radio hosts received complaints soon after airing the song and responded by playing the song again, an anonymous source told Asian Media Watch.

This comes on the heels of another racist broadcast by the self-proclaimed "haters" of the "Star and Buc Wild" morning show on Power 99 WUSL-FM Philadelphia. Radio host Star (Troi Terrain) called a customer service call center in India, threatened to "choke" the operator, and called her a "filthy rat-eater" and "-----."

Miss Jones are Star (Troi Terraine) are former co-hosts on the same radio program.

As with Star (Troi Terraine), this is not the first incident in which "Miss Jones" has made racially inflammatory comments. In response to the sale of a board game called Ghettopoly, Jones enflamed an already racially charged situation by asking listeners make their own board game called "Chinkopoly" and to make demeaning imitations of Asians as retaliation towards Ghettopoly's creator who is an Asian American.

Asian Media Watch urges concerned individuals to demand an apology from New York's Hot 97 WQHT-FM and its parent company Emmis Communications. A complaint may be filed with the Federal Communications Commission which enforces laws prohibiting "the broadcast of indecent programming during certain hours" (including profanity).
