Well, at least something is being done about it. I hate their sense of humor as much as the song itself, when one of the hosts said, "If you don't air the song, I'll start killing/shooting one Asian at a time." Are you kidding me with this? 
It's one thing to be throwing around racist comments, it's another to make fun of tragic deaths. Would anyone think it's funny to make funny, racist comments about the massacres and starvations in Africa, which slaughters millions of Africans each year, in Congo, etc.?
After all that Dr. King had taught us about racial tolerance and non-prejudice, then African-Americans, of all people, had gone and basically pissed on his grave with such a disgrace for human dignity. For such, I'd say, "Shame on you!".

If you wanna do something about it, email CNN and other national news channels to let them know of this outrage, along with the song. In addition, you can also email tsunami foundations to let them know of this also, and I'm sure they'll have a word with that station. Do it!

Getting upset about someone doing that is silly.
It was tastelessly funny.

Here is the thing I don't understand. Before no one knew about this song. Now after the incredible promotion some of you have done everyone is listening to there station. Because of all this attention it is getting........ All you're doing is boosting their ratings/ popularity. I had no idea who these people were..... Now thanks to some of you smart people you have attracted new listeners to this station.......

The fact that you even found a shred of humor in it speaks for itself.
