New York— MTV news reports that a New York 01 radio station, Hot 97, is facing a public outcry over the airing of a track called “The Tsunami Song”. The song is a parody of the 80s benefi t song, “We Are the World” and was aired repeatedly on the station’s morning show. A sample of the lyrics: “Go fi nd your mommy, I just saw her fl oat by/ A tree went right through her head/ And now your children will be sold into child slavery.” The show attracted further attention when racist statements about Asians were made on-air. Hot 97 has put the entire morning show team on indefi nite suspension, and donated a week’s pay from each host to tsunami aid.
