BEIJING, Jan. 28 -- The entire staff of a New York radio show has been indefinitely suspended for broadcasting a joke song mocking victims of the tsunami tragedy.

    Hip-hop station Hot 97 sparked outrage and thousands of complaints for repeatedly playing the offensive track.

    Emmis Radio pulled the "Miss Jones Morning Show" off WQHT-FM after Tasha Nicole Jones played "The Tsunami Song" several times, a "We Are the World" parody with a crude racial term for Asians that mocks tsunami victims' suffering, the New York Daily News reported Thursday.

    Emmis Radio president, Rick Cummings, branded the song ¡°morally and socially indefensible¡±, ¡°All involved, myself included, are ashamed and deeply sorry,¡± he added.

    He has indefinitely suspended Jones and her crew. Enditem
