在给 80-20 的信中,ABC 仍声称其旨在娱乐大众,别无他意。请问,难道拿“杀2 h7 k% D4 y1 h8 ?3 u* ^

10 月 29 日,Kimmel 先生将这一切归罪于文化差异的理念,多么可笑。我请问,6 s& X; H4 X2 a; j( e% y9 `
您所谓的“文化差异”是什么意思?勤奋工作、赢得尊重、热爱和谐的文化?还是暴力+ Z3 @. h4 d/ n3 Y7 f
和种族仇恨的文化?这二者区别何在?我相信我们与 Kimmel 之间的确存在着天壤之别 G; l: U$ ~; Y, V5 K6 \+ U: T- e
。我们是非分明,对幽默亦心领神会!然而,我们不能容忍的是你恶意的玩笑、之后公4 `% c% @5 u y: a; u, k

2 U2 V, f- @$ F. E

我一而再,再而三地询问:“走到这一步,我们花了多长时间?”有朋友说,“某
