what the ?

New York FM radio station WQHT, or HOT97 ran the segment on its "Miss Jones in the Morning" show. The piece used racial slurs to describe people swept away in the disaster, made jokes about child slavery and people watching their mothers die. The hip-hop and R&B station known for its "shock jocks" in this case, DJ Tarsha Nicole Jones, apologized. The piece drew widespread criticism from Albany to New York with many lawmakers calling on the FCC to fine the station. "At a time when virtually the entire world has come together to help in the tsunami tragedy relief, employees of HOT 97 have come up with this song." "We are disgusted and demand immediate action by the FCC", said New York State Assembly member Jimmy Meng, a Democrat from Queens. The piece was also denounced by the Washington based Council on American-Islamic Relations which said it received calls from Muslims offended by the piece.
