BANZAI PROTEST
An Asian-American media group says Fox's new comedy Banzai demeans and stereotypes Asian people, and the dissenters staged a protest Thursday at the TCA press tour to voice their anger. In reponse to the controversy, Fox Entertainment President Gail Berman said, "Well, the show itself is a parody of Japanese game shows. Certainly, we think the bulk of the audience has understood that."
