On January 17 , 2005 , Miss Jones provoked a controversy by airing a song entitled " USA for Indonesia " a month after approximately 167,000 people in Indonesia and 227,000 people worldwide were left dead or missing from the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake and tsunami which affected the Asia-Pacific and Somalia . The song , a parody sung to the 1985 tune " We Are the World " , was criticized for overtly racist mocking of the Asian victims ; the song lyrics contain the racially derogatory word " Chinamen , " and calls the drowning victims " bitches . " Some of the lyrics included the words " Go find your mommy . I just saw her float by , a tree went through her head . And now your children will be sold into child slavery . " Miss Info , a fellow on-air colleague of Korean descent , was outraged and spoke against the song on the station . She excluded herself from producing the song and said it was wrong for it to be played . Miss Info was insulted by other DJs on the air . Another jock on the show , Todd Lynn , muttered " I 'm gon na start shooting Asians . " Following angry protests from the public , Miss Jones , DJ Envy , and Tasha Hightower were suspended for two weeks while Todd Lynn and songwriter Rick Del Gado were fired . The station issued an apology on its website . '' Newsday '' , Sprint , McDonald 's and Toyota all pulled their advertising from the station . The suspended employees ' pay was diverted to charities helping victims of the tsunami
