Another radio show gets into big trouble for a prank. On the heels of the Don Imus affair, a New York morning show, "The Doghouse" is under fire, this time by the Asian community. According to wnbc.com: "CBS Radio suspended two local hosts after they twice broadcast a racially charged prank call that targeted employees at a Chinese restaurant.
The hosts of the daily morning show, WFNY-FM's 'The Dog House With JV and Elvis,' have been suspended 'until further notice' without pay...[after]...Local chapters of the Organization of Chinese Americans, an advocacy group, released a statement Sunday protesting the segment...
In the segment, broadcast on April 5 and again last week, a caller to a Chinese restaurant intersperses an order for takeout with lewd language and racial slurs."
