ABC Apologizes for Child's Joke on Kimmel's Show
LOS ANGELES October 28, 2013 (AP)
ABC is apologizing for a segment of "Jimmy Kimmel Live" in which a child
joked about killing Chinese people to help erase the U.S. debt.
The boy's unscripted comment came during a comedy bit in which youngsters
commented on news events. The skit, aimed at poking fun at childish
politicians, aired last week on Kimmel's late-night talk show.
ABC's apology came in response to a complaint from a group called 80-20 that
identifies itself as a pan-Asian-American political organization.
In an Oct. 25 letter to the group, ABC said it would never purposefully do
anything to upset the Chinese, Asian or other communities. The network says
the skit will be edited out of the "Jimmy Kimmel Live" episode for future
airings or any other distribution, including online. |
