Rosie O’Donnell apologized on The View today for the incident last week where she mocked the Chinese language in an effort to be funny. After running the clip she said:
“This apparently was very offensive to a lot of Asian people. So I asked Judy, who’s Asian and works here in our hair and makeup department. I said, ‘Was it offensive to you?’ And she said, ‘Well, kinda. When I was a kid people did tease me by saying ching-chong.’ So apparently ‘ching-chong,’ unbeknownst to me, is a very offensive way to make fun, quote-unquote, or mock, Asian accents. Some people have told me it’s as bad as the n-word. I was like, really? I didn’t know that.”
O’Donnell said that her joke was “never intended to hurt anyone, and I’m sorry for those people who felt hurt or were teased on the playground,” but added that in the future, “there’s a good chance that I’ll do something like that again … Not on purpose.”
Yeah, who would’ve guessed ‘ching chong ching’ would be offensive to Asians? Summing up the most widely spoken language in the world into two single-syllable noises? I mean c’mon, that’s tough work. Like calling every Italian person I meet Luigi and asking if they “got’sa pizza” for me.
Too late Rosie!!!
FIRST!!!
Rheee! Rheee! I’m sorry for Squeal! Squeal! those people who felt Oink! Oink! hurt or were teased Snort! Grunt!
If any ugly, fat, annoying lesbians are offended or teased by my Rosie impersonation, it was unbeknownst to me that swine noises are so offensive and I’m likely to do it again.
Really, I’m horrified with myself now that I know.
I wonder if John Valby has any songs written about her yet?
Rosie is on the wrong show. She should be a character on “The Office”
@46…that’s how we roll.
What a jerk Rosie O’Donnell is. After being totally racist, and then refusing to apologize, this is way too little, and way too late.
Did I mention Rosie is dumb?
Did you see the HAIKU she wrote to apologize? Talk about insensitive.
She’s all ready to point the finger at Kelly Ripa or anyone else yet when she says something its an innocent joke.
She & her ilk created this PC world but don’t think they have to live within the rules.
What a bunch of Bullshit, Rosie O’Donnell is so PC that she makes Gloria Steinem look like a Hooters Waitress.
Anybody who buys this “I didn’t know it was offensive” is an idiot. I frankly think people need to lighten up, but if Rosie is going to play the role of PC watchdog then I’m really glad to see her get her OWN ass bitten by it.
who gives a fucking fuck? lighten up, bunch of fucking treehuggers.
#6 – nice jrz. LOL.
#35 – Rosie has a vagina? I did not know that (in my best Carson impersonation).
#60 – A big amen to that one.
#19 – your post reminded me of that Hispanic comic who recited all of the different slang terms for male masturbation. Anyone remember who did that bit of genius?
61 Amen to that.
Carpet Muncher says what?
she is the ugliest man I have ever seen.
Although, Ching Chong no longer offends me (I think I repressed it from memory, I still get offended with the asian stereotype that all asians eat their pets) I can see how others are offended by it. The difference of her doing an Irish accent and this is that almost evey asian kid in America were harassed with the Ching Chong joke when they were elementary school.
BarbadoSlim, you insult dykes everywhere…
As for Rosie, I have a suggestion for her.
Lesbian BBW porn. I’ll even run the camera. (Calm down, folks. I never said that my eyes would be open…)
i never want to hear from this fat bitch again…does anyone even watch her anymore?
This woman is living uncontestable proof that liberalism is indeed a mental disorder. Ignorance is one thing, but ignorance with an attitude problem is stupidity.
#8 simon134,
I wonder how did you react when someone insulted you last time. Did you laugh it off because it was ALRIGHT to make offensive jokes in this country?
Your mouth is a sh*t hole because your post is full of filthy swearings, opps! Was that offensive? I guess it’s okey, for you. But still, you stink, like pooh.
For a race of people who like to abduct children, build dungeons, and trap them in there for years at a time while raping them repeatedly, you white people sure do think highly of yourselves considering the comments on this article.
She won’t be able to apologize a second time, Samantha. She and Michael Richards are too busy filming Mel Gibson’s adaptation of Mein Kampf.
Rosie is the reason some people have no kids. I wonder if her parents had any that lived? I don’t care for her. I only like one person on the view. Guess who? Rosie has a strange way of looking at things. She feels that Christian Muslims are all good. That Christian Conservatives are radical. What an ignorant view. Anyway, I’m very glad she is not on any TV I watch. In my opinion, she is a waste of flesh. So, I guess you can say she is a huge waste.
I normally don’t get so aggressive in my e-mails but I have a hard time with some of these people who are out there now. Also, Ms. Garofalo, what a clown. I am 64 years old and I feel an all out knuckle busting fued coming on in this country. Most of the used to be easy going people that I know are just about fed up with all the trash in this country. Let’s just live and let live. If we are going to go to war, let’s go to win or stay home. I’m sure all of the families that have lost loved ones in any war will agree with that. No, war is not good, but if you have to do something about some country that is about to deliver the big one, you should do it first.
