Don Imus is surprisingly still alive and talking on the radio. After being fired last year for calling the Rutgers womens basketball team a bunch of "nappy-headed hoes", Imus found his way back on the air at a different station. Yesterday controversy surrounded him again over comments he made over Pacman Jones, now of the Dallas Cowboys. Imus, being a 90-year-old who spends most of his time sleeping in a sarcophagus, was unsure who Pacman was. He asked his staff "What color is this guy?" and followed it up with "Isn't he that squinty-eyed yellow guy with the big head who was popular in the 80's for popping pills all the time?" His sidekick chimed in noting that Pacman helped to lay the railroad tracks for modern day videogames.

The comments have angered Asians, who feel the sentiments were highly racist. "We are very unhappy with Mr. Imus using such horrible stereotypes," said Takagi Nguyen of the Asian Defamation League. "To confuse us with someone who was obviously a drug addict who saw crazy things such as ghosts chasing him is very insulting. Also to bring up our railroad building past is just deplorable. Mister Pacman's race is unknown, and the developers say he may just be a floating disembodied head."

Imus has gotten into a controversy before involving Donkey Kong, who he called a "Dark-skinned #### who works in a shipping factory, likes to get drunk, abduct white women, and then throw thousands of dollars worth of merchandise down ramps." He was also critical of the head chef from 80's restaurant Burger Time who Imus claimed had horrible cleanliness standards, including serving burgers off of a complicated system of ladders.
