Take action and insist that DJs JV and Elvis and their producer(s) be
fired! Radio station and CBS contacts and sample letter below.

These DJs and their producers are responsible for the offensive radio
segment aired on WFNY 92.3 FM (New York City) on 5 April 2007, and
re-aired on 19 April 2007.

The segment features a prank call made by station DJs JV and Elvis to
a Chinese restaurant in which they make numerous comments that demean
Asian Pacific Americans, women, and the gay community. During the
six-minute segment, the DJs address restaurant employees as "Asian
lady" and "Chinese man"; make demands for "lots of Asian food, son of
a bitch"; and ask for "shrimp flied lice" and "some old dung."

The DJs also accost one woman on the phone, saying, "Should I come to
your restaurant so that I can see you naked. that way I can see your
hot Asian spicy ass." They tell another restaurant employee, "You are
a very nice Chinese man. probably can't drive for shit, but who
cares." The DJs also call one employee "faggy."

LETTER TO WFNY GENERAL MANAGER FROM OCA-NEW YORK, LONG ISLAND,
WESTCHESTER/HUDSON VALLEY AND NEW JERSEY

April 22, 2007

Thomas Chiusano
President and General Manager
WFNY 92.3Free FM
40 West 57th Street, 14th Floor
New York, NY 10019-4001

Dear Mr. Chiusano:

The New York City metropolitan area chapters of the Organization of
Chinese Americans --New York, New Jersey, Long Island and
Westchester/Hudson Valley are outraged at a segment aired on The Dog
House with JV & Elvis that involved a prank call to a Chinese
restaurant. The prank call was extremely racist, vulgar and sexist. 
To that end, OCA-NY is demanding an immediate on-air apology by JV &
Elvis, by their producer, by you and an immediate firing of JV & Elvis
and their producer.

In the segment, the caller begins by telling the first restaurant
employee, "I would like some Asian food, son of a bitch", as well as
to the second employee "I would love to have lots of Asian food, son
of a bitch." He then tells a the restaurant's female employee,
"Should I come to your restaurant so I can see you naked? " and
continues, "That way, I can see your hot Asian spicy ass." As the
caller goes on, he tells yet another employee that he would like to
some "flied lice," but not "some old dung" and indicates that "I am
training in Kung Fu, bitch" before ending with "Tell that hot Asian
girl answering the telephone, I'd like to tap her ass." 

What is especially disturbing to the Asian American community is that
the segment first aired on April 5 - just a day after Don Imus
referred to the Scarlet Knights, the Rutgers University women's
basketball team, as "nappy-headed hos." Even more infuriating is that
after CBS rightly fired Don Imus on April 12, JV & Elvis aired the
segment AGAIN on April 19. It is apparent that not only did JV &
Elvis not learn anything from the Don Imus scandal, but CBS and
CBSRadio decided that Asian Americans are easy prey for racist radio
broadcast. 

Our chapters are founding members of the Coalition Against Hate Media,
where we were successful in the firing of HOT 97 DJs for the "Tsunami
Song." that mocked dead victims of this disaster. The airing of your
segment is not so different from the time "Star" of the "Star and Buc
Wild" Program on Power 99 threatened an Indian call center operator by
calling him a "filthy rat eater." Star was suspended due to pressure
by the Asian American community. The Organization of Chinese Americans
will not tolerate any media that attempts to stereotype and harm our
community.

In addition to our above demands, we would like to meet with you and
your team immediately, along with other Asian American organizations,
to ensure incidents like this do not happen again. Until this matter
can be resolved to the satisfaction of the Asian American community,
we will ask all your advertisers to withdraw their support for your
station.

Founded in 1973, OCA is a national non-profit, non-partisan
organization dedicated to advancing the social, political and economic
well-being of Asian Pacific Americans. With a national headquarters
in Washington DC and over 80 chapters and affiliates across the
country, OCA embraces the hopes and aspirations of the nearly 12
million Americans of Chinese and Asian/Pacific Islander ancestry in
the United States. 

Sincerely,

Vicki Shu Smolin
President, OCA-NY

Florence Chen
President, OCA-New Jersey

The DJs also accost one woman on the phone, saying, "Should I come =
to<br>
your restaurant so that I can see you naked… that way I can see =
your<br>
hot Asian spicy ass." They tell another restaurant employee, =
"You are<br>
a very nice Chinese man… probably can't drive for shit, but =
who<br>
cares." The DJs also call one employee "faggy." <br>

Dear Mr. Chiusano:<br>
<br>
The <st1:City w:st=3D"on"><st1:place w:st=3D"on">New York =
City</st1:place></st1:City>
metropolitan area chapters of the Organization of<br>
Chinese Americans --<st1:City w:st=3D"on">New York</st1:City>, =
<st1:State w:st=3D"on">New
 Jersey</st1:State>, <st1:place w:st=3D"on">Long Island</st1:place> =
and<br>
Westchester/<wbr>Hudson Valley are outraged at a segment aired on The =
Dog<br>
House with JV & Elvis that involved a prank call to a Chinese<br>
restaurant. The prank call was extremely racist, vulgar and sexist. <br>
To that end, OCA-NY is demanding an immediate on-air apology by JV =
&<br>
Elvis, by their producer, by you and an immediate firing of JV & =
Elvis<br>
and their producer.<br>
<br>
In the segment, the caller begins by telling the first restaurant<br>
employee, "I would like some Asian food, son of a bitch", as =
well as<br>
to the second employee "I would love to have lots of Asian food, =
son<br>
of a bitch." He then tells a the restaurant's female employee,<br>
"Should I come to your restaurant so I can see you naked? " =
and<br>
continues, "That way, I can see your hot Asian spicy ass." As =
the<br>
caller goes on, he tells yet another employee that he would like to<br>
some "flied lice," but not "some old dung" and =
indicates
that "I am<br>
training in Kung Fu, bitch" before ending with "Tell that hot =
Asian<br>
girl answering the telephone, I'd like to tap her ass." <br>
<br>
What is especially disturbing to the Asian American community is =
that<br>
the segment first aired on April 5 – just a day after Don Imus<br>
referred to the Scarlet Knights, the <st1:place =
w:st=3D"on"><st1:PlaceName w:st=3D"on">Rutgers</st1:PlaceName>
 <st1:PlaceType w:st=3D"on">University</st1:PlaceType></st1:place> =
women's<br>
basketball team, as "nappy-headed hos." Even more infuriating =
is that<br>
after CBS rightly fired Don Imus on April 12, JV & Elvis aired =
the<br>
segment AGAIN on April 19. It is apparent that not only did JV &<br>
Elvis not learn anything from the Don Imus scandal, but CBS and<br>
CBSRadio decided that Asian Americans are easy prey for racist radio<br>
broadcast. <br>
<br>
Our chapters are founding members of the Coalition Against Hate =
Media,<br>
where we were successful in the firing of HOT 97 DJs for the =
"Tsunami<br>
Song." that mocked dead victims of this disaster. The airing of =
your<br>
segment is not so different from the time "Star" of the =
"Star
and Buc<br>
Wild" Program on Power 99 threatened an Indian call center operator =
by<br>
calling him a "filthy rat eater." Star was suspended due to =
pressure<br>
by the Asian American community. The Organization of Chinese =
Americans<br>
will not tolerate any media that attempts to stereotype and harm our<br>
community.<br>
<br>
In addition to our above demands, we would like to meet with you and<br>
your team immediately, along with other Asian American =
organizations,<br>
to ensure incidents like this do not happen again. Until this matter<br>
can be resolved to the satisfaction of the Asian American community,<br>
we will ask all your advertisers to withdraw their support for your<br>
station.<br>
<br>
Founded in 1973, OCA is a national non-profit, non-partisan<br>
organization dedicated to advancing the social, political and =
economic<br>
well-being of Asian Pacific Americans. With a national headquarters<br>
in <st1:place w:st=3D"on"><st1:City w:st=3D"on">Washington</st1:City> =
<st1:State
 w:st=3D"on">DC</st1:State></st1:place> and over 80 chapters and =
affiliates
across the<br>
country, OCA embraces the hopes and aspirations of the nearly 12<br>

the <st1:country-region w:st=3D"on"><st1:place w:st=3D"on">United =
