Kimmel clip. Go figure that he would do a head game on kids. This came from 24/7 Wall Street.

One of the kids on the live show suggested that the way the U.S. should deal with its ballooning debt is to kill all the people in China. Kimmel’s apology came over a week ago, and where this gets interesting is that Kimmel was not the one who made the comments. He also even tried to defuse the situation after the comments. Where the protests were pointed is that the entire skit should have not been shown at all.
It has already been shown that ABC is no longer going to air the “Kid Table” segment. Now the White House has a We The People petition that has over 103,000 signatures seeking a “sincere apology.” Jimmy Kimmel has over 3.2 million followers on Twitter, and the @JimmyKimmelLive also has 345,000 followers.
How this all plays out is something that remains to be seen. The calls for “No Fake Apology” and “Fire Jimmy Kimmel Now” may grow louder. This also challenges many aspects about what editors of shows have to decide.
Life itself is a gift. Live it up if you can.
