An Edison, N.J., man is taking ABC host Jimmy Kimmel and the
network's parent company, Disney, to court over a skit in which a
6-year-old boy suggested killing everyone in China as a solution to the
U.S. debt problem.
article here.
The Oct. 16 segment led China's Foreign Ministry to demand an apology,
which the network and Kimmel did at least three times. Even the White
House weighed in, condemning the segment but defending freedom of
speech, after more than 100,000 people signed an online petition asking
for "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" to be taken off the air. . . .
The Plaintiff's complaint says that he "was deeply shocked, offended, and outraged
at the comment to kill all everyone in China since that is his home
country and Jimmy Kimmel failed to suppress such a hateful and offensive
remark."
