What goes around comes around, right? So it would seem. You may recall that Rosie O’Donnell recently got into a scrap with Kelly Ripa over the latter’s reaction when Clay Aiken put his hand over her mouth on TV. Well now O’Donnell is taking flak for mocking spoken Chinese on “The View.” It went a little something like 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.
Apparently this did not go over well. When informed of this, O’Donnell replied,
“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.'”
Ah, Rosie, what will you do next? Nothing could be as patently offensive to the brain cells as your performance in Riding on the Bus with My Sister. Let’s all remember that now, shall we?
