I will not take sides, I think it was wrong, but you know what America is about freedom of speech.....contrary to what a lot of people think it's not only the land of opportunity but the land of completely racist based codes, offcolor jokes and disregard for people of color that really are using all of their talents to try and get ahead......why did I say that?...in my daily goings I probably come across a few assholes a week if I didn't have thicker skin I would be locked up......, its cool that the focus is on this one topic, but if any of you cats that live in America know what I am talking about......THERE TONS OF TALK SHOWS that have completely RACIST and Tasteless commentary, they talk about Blacks, they talk about Whites they talk very derogatory and because of FREEDOM of SPEECH in AMERICA they can do it.......I mean I won't take sides but i think its stupid to sit there and ridicule 1 radio station....and some of you are going to be mad when i say this.....YOU DONT EVEN LIVE HERE......feel me, I mean we put up with that bullshidd for Hundreds of years man.....don been called a N*99a to my face twice by some rednecks when I was too young to do a fuggin thing about it....go get a petition?...and trust me there are many that are at their dinner tables right now teaching their kids that same crap.....so I am against it.....but I ain't signing a petition....theres way too much other nonsense on a politically correct level we have to put up with a whole lot more, racial profiling, getting beat down by cops, denied jobs based upon the a primary color.....I am in no way agreeing with this but man theres millions of things you can sign a petition for.....but really what will that do but get a few people fired......WOW......it won't change anyones mind or anything like that.....I mean I know lots of people when they are out with their friends laugh at off color shidd.....come on man.....lighten up......I just want any of you the next time you out with friends on a Friday or Saturday night when 1 of your ignant friends might make an off color joke try and an play the politically correct role in the group.........go ahead and tell em.......Jimmy or so and so thats not nice, I don't want to hear anymore of this talk, I am going home and you can have my beer.....LOL....oh and furthermore out all of the joke what they were saying is the media and everyone Else completely minimized the loss of the people on the African continent.....I think some of us are a little to educated to understand the real point and yes how they did it was completely tasteless but I just had to play a lil Devil's advocate and go against the grain on this shidd.....don't be hypocritical

Todd Lynn and Rick Delgado Fired from Hot 97: Axe Falls Over Hot 97 Tsunami Song
February 1, 2005
WQHT (Hot 97)/New York and Emmis Communications have announced the termination of morning show personality Todd Lynn and producer Rick Delgado, effective immediately. Emmis will also make a lump-sum donation of $1 million to Give2Asia to aid the organization in its Tsunami relief and recovery effort.

Other members of the morning show crew -- Miss Jones, DJ Envy and Tasha Hightower -- have each been given two-week suspensions with their salaries being redirected to Give2Asia for the duration of their suspensions, which will end on Wednesday, February 9. Another member of the morning show, Miss Info, was not suspended.

A statement by Emmis said: "An internal investigation by Hot 97 and Emmis determined that the singularly egregious actions of Lynn and Delgado warranted termination from their employment at the station."

"The actions of the morning show crew were socially and morally indefensible and the entire Emmis family is ashamed by this," added Emmis President Rick Cummings. "Emmis and Hot 97 have investigated this matter thoroughly over the course of the last week. Our decision to terminate Mr. Delgado and Mr. Lynn while suspending the other members of the morning crew sends a message that this type of insensitivity is utterly unacceptable."

Delgado was terminated for his role in writing, producing and airing "The Tsunami Song," the highly insensitive parody of the 1985 single "We Are the World." Lynn was let go for making offensive, racially insensitive comments while on the air.

^^^^^Good. Somebody had to fall. Dat shyt was too damn insensitive. Its one thing to make racial slurs and comments with our so called "freedom of speech" but to mock hundreds of thousands of lives that perished is uncalled for.

I heard Mc.Donalds have pulled out of advertising with Hot97 due to the petitions.
