565: Spy in a Bag
Jimmy Kimmel, Disney in Shanghai and Chinese Sensitivity
Jimmy Kimmel's apology for a "kill everyone in China" joke is linked to Disney's business interests in the region, specifically the construction of Shanghai Disneyland. The hosts argue that the network "kowtowed" to Chinese pressure to protect its investments. John C. Dvorak shares an anecdote about writing a "racist" joke for PC Magazine that failed to offend anyone in Taiwan.
