gatita Posted January 27, 2005 Share Posted January 27, 2005 Miss Jones and the rest of the crew got suspended. Hey guys, lets come out with a song about Sept 11 and air it! What will Hot97 be saying then? Exactly. Fuckin sociopaths. And yes Giving tree, the shark does not care about the song. But because we have things a shark does not have (ie, ability to rationalize, etc.) I cannot and dont think many can ignore that song. So, I understand your buddhism-like comment, but, no dice.

Guest Posted January 27, 2005 Share Posted January 27, 2005 update: YO ASS GOT FIRED HOT97’s Miss Jones & Morning Team Fired! Thursday - January 27, 2005 Silver T Late last night New York's #1 station Hot97 released this statement, regarding the Tsunami Song Statement from WQHT-FM, HOT 97 January 26th, 2004 (New York City) - Miss Jones and the HOT 97 Morning team have been indefinitely suspended for the airing of a song that made light of a catastrophic event, as well as comments made at the time the song was aired. Earlier this week, Miss Jones said on the air "I apologize to all who have been offended by my poor decision to go along with playing that insulting (to say the least) Tsunami song. I should have known better and I didn't. So I'm sorry and hopefully we can move forward from this, or I can move forward from this being a better hostess, because I am better than that, and I know better than that -- and you deserve better radio than that." While Miss Jones has apologized on the air, in the media and on the HOT 97 website, station management felt that stronger action was necessary to demonstrate the severity of the situation. Emmis Radio and HOT 97 will not tolerate such derogatory and racially insensitive content. This incident in no way reflects the spirit of HOT 97. The station has a long-time and well-known reputation for community involvement and support. Emmis Radio President Rick Cummings said, "What happened is morally and socially indefensible. All involved, myself included, are ashamed and deeply sorry. I know the members of the morning show are truly contrite. They know their actions here are inexcusable." We would like to clarify that no company advertising on our station had any connection to the Tsunami Song and no company advertising on our station endorsed or sponsored the offensive material aired on the "Miss Jones in the Morning" show. We apologize for any misunderstanding that may have caused listeners to believe that anyone, other than the morning show staff, was responsible for the material that should not have been aired.

Giving Tree Posted January 28, 2005 Share Posted January 28, 2005 people deal with verious situations in various ways. I in no way justify what they had done, but who the fuck really cares? who gets all up in arms every time shiite muslims go on rants about white devils? who throws fits when Eminem talks about homosexuals? who got all pissy when Marilyn Manson spoke out against christians? Right now there are a number of MAJOR civil wars occuring, nuclear stockpiling, and major racial / religious profiling and "cleansing" and you are worried about a song. there are plenty of better battles out there. a majority of all media is a fucking cesspool. you'll bitch about a song that was made in bad taste, then go home and listen to Copywrite or Pantera, and thats ok. yeah, it was a fucking tragedy, I realize this, but if you don't like what a radio station says, you don't need to listen. if you don't like what an artist says, don't listen. but you can't go around throwing piss fits about one when you let the others slide. thats hypocritial. giving tree is an equal opportunity hater. fuck everyone.

JUSTONE Posted January 28, 2005 Share Posted January 28, 2005 it's just that the media has a responsibility. it's not a case of 'just turn it off it u don't like it'. Most people in this thread didn't hear it and are pissed. You're right there is alot of serious shit going on in the world - the tsunami was one of them. But did you know that the enthic cleansing in Rwanda was largely the result of an uncontrolled media? There is freedom of speech and our choice to listen or not; but there's also places you just can't go when you are in the media. I hope you don't see this as a piss fit by the way, that shark told me he's really unhappy with the way he's been portrayed in hollywood and blames it on a lack of regulation in the media Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quoted post I see what you're tryin to say, but honestly who is this going home listening to Copywrite and Pantera after criticizing a song in bad taste? Also, is Copywrite and Pantera making fun of current events involving mass casualties, and labeling those victims with racial slurs? I don't you can compare their "entertainment gimmicks" with a radio station making a song for the sole purpose of mocking Tsunami victims and calling them racial slurs. The disc jockeys should exercise some responsibility and make good judgments. And this one was common sense. I'm more shocked at the fact they thought they could just do this and nothing would happen to them in return. With all the massive charities across the U.S. (and the rest of the world) set up for the Tsunami victims (probably largest mass charity in history), it's hard to believe that they could be so ignorant and do a song in an atmospherer that is clearly sensitive to the situation, and think they'd get away with it.

But making fun of the victims to that extent is nuts. Miss Jones can't try and apologize. What a hypocrite! Do you guys not see that she was on air dissing up Miss Info for not wanting to be involved, claiming that if you're going to play something, you've gotta back it up? And now she is saying it was a mistake. Fuck her stupid loudmouth. She needs to get a job at Mr. Lube or something. Miss Info, on the other hand, should not lose her job. She went on the record as saying that she didn't agree with that song being played. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quoted post This is the absolute fucking truth. The mindset of innercity black America were, as far as they're concerned, the only people who've significantly suffered is themselves is played the fuck out. Call me a racist or what ever you want but it is time for black people to get off their racial high-horse. I know they've been through a lot, but it doesn't mean that they can, themselves, purvey racism against other groups of people and poke fun at a tragedy that killed hundreds of thousands of people because it didn't involve "them". Fuck that. If I was to walk up to "Miss Jones" and call her a nigger to her face she'd start screaming at me about how ig'nant I am. Enough with the double race standards. She and the rest of her staff absolutely deserve to be fired. AND... What is even more pathetic is that we're approching black history month and this is the best a bunch of black radio hosts can do with their time. Fucking shameful.

I seriously hope that this assholes child drowns in a fucking swimming pool so I can track him down and make fun of the situation. Dude doesn't deserve to be fired... He deserves to be fucking shot. It's funny how such small scale incidents can get you ticked off, but, let's be fucking serious... This shit is fucking sick. Also, the argument of free speach is bullshit in this situation, because, whether you agree or not there is a group called the FCC and if they can decide that radio stations have to edit the word "tree's" in reference to pot, then they better fucking decide that this is not allowed. Fuck you and your bullshit arguments. When Bill Mahr made a comment regarding September 11th that wasn't remotely as offensive as this you all were probably red in the face.
