A Chinese American found this interesting technique Disney ABC used to make a mockery of Chinese Americans. "ABC sincerely apologized days ago and they are still marching!"
Around 9:00 PM Pacific Time Sunday 11/10/2013, Chinese's Official News Agency first(how come they know beforehand?) reported a new apology from ABC. Apparently there are mounting pressure on the protesters to accept whatever throwing to them and go back to normal life.
Later the link was posted in the forum protesters gathers. It was dated Friday, November 8th, 2013. Although still has no much substance, instead of apologizing by blaming the offended for "lacking of humor", laying finger on the planetary system "today is a weird day", or hiding behind "the 6-year did it(!) and we didn't agree", Disney ABC finally admitted that this is indeed a systematic error of Disney ABC that should never happened with this hate speech. It says
"The simple fact is, the segment should never have been broadcast. Systems we have in place for these types of things did not function properly, and steps have been made to try and prevent this kind of egregious mistake from occurring in the future."
"We have strengthened our review process and several new safeguards have been put in place to both our Broadcast Standards & Practices and Entertainment Programming areas to ensure that segments like this are immediately brought to the attention of appropriate senior executives who can address them appropriately."
Although it still didn't meet the standard of a good apology. There's no mentioning of Chinese or Chinese American ("looking into the eyes") or Rights to Live ("apologize for what"). The protesters decided to suspend further protests and boycott of Disney.
Unfortunately a curious Chinese American decided to find out why no one ever on the earth knew about this apology dated back on Friday. Sure, ABC may just have neglected to tell anyone in the world what they meant and they really apologized again. But the results is "interesting".
On November 8th 2013, ABC had a Press Release (pr62214), with title **ABC'S "GREY'S" IS UP AN "SCANDAL" CONTINUES AS THE SEASON'S FASTEST GROWING RETURNING SERIES (11/7)**
To show that they INDEED made "sincere" apology before the Chinese Americans' Rights to Live rally on 11/9, they replaced the content of this press release (pr62214) so that the release is backdated to November 8th. Now we have "Statement on behalf of ABC Entertainment and Jimmy Kimmel Live!" released before the rally. "How ignorant the protesters are to miss this!"
We bet that Disney ABC will need another investigation so that a poor IT engineer (a reasonable chance foreign born new immigrant since they are behind the success of US technologies) in either Disney ABC or search engine Behemoth Google will be terminated. The Micky Mouse always win and Disney/ABC will NEVER do anything wrong purposefully. [UPDATE: The original post has further evidence that Google is not malfunctioning. At the time the author detailed this plot, searching on www.abcmedianet.com for pr62214 pointed to **ABC'S "GREY'S" IS UP AN "SCANDAL" CONTINUES AS THE SEASON'S FASTEST GROWING RETURNING SERIES (11/7)** At the time of this write up, it is already pointing to **Statement on behalf of ABC Entertainment and Jimmy Kimmel Live!** Congratualtions, Disney/ABC! ]
We need another petition for congress investigation and Boycott of Disney, period.
