My wife and my mom are both Televisionoholics and many of their conversations do not concern me, but they were talking about Whoopi Goldberg replacing Rosie O'Donnell on
The View. (I'm a big, no A BIG Whoopi fan!!!) I thought, "Hey, Rosie O' is perfect for the format. Why would they replace her?" Then I found this:
In a Dec. 5 segment, O'Donnell joked about how Danny DeVito's recent -- and seemingly drunken -- appearance on the ABC daytime talk show had become international news.
"You know, you can imagine in China it's like `ching chong, ching chong chong, Danny DeVito, ching chong chong chong, drunk, "The View," ching chong,"' the 44-year-old comedian said.
On Thursday's show, she told the audience: "To say ching chong to someone is very offensive, and some Asian people have told me it's as bad as the n-word. Which I was like, `Really? I didn't know that."'That's just a comic, doing a schtick, but she was axed for it.
(I know, it's old news now, but WTF?)
