澳洲电视主持人 为模仿麦可杰克森搞笑道歉
 更新日期:2009/10/08 21:35
澳洲一家电视台最近播放模仿已故美国歌星麦可杰克森的搞笑节目，结果被认为是丑化黑人有种族歧视之嫌，主持人今天亲自向观众道歉。
这家澳洲电视台星期三播出综艺节目，主持人找来五个人，模仿麦可杰克森家族五兄弟唱唱跳跳，其中4人把脸涂黑，一个人，也就是扮演麦可的人，把脸涂白。
澳洲观众看到这个节目有两极反应，有人认为侮辱黑人，有人认为可笑，但在美国这是明显种族歧视，因为美国从19世纪开始，就有这种模仿黑人的表演，美国人称它为（黑脸表演），就是白人演员用煤炭或鞋油把脸抹得漆黑，戴上黑人蓬松假发，模仿黑人表演，故意丑化黑人，娱乐白人观众。
影射麦可 澳洲模仿秀扮黑脸 遭批种族歧视

澳洲一个搞笑综艺节目日前因为有民众参加模仿秀，把脸涂黑影射已故巨星麦可杰克森，结果引起网友挞伐，说这根本是种族歧视。
四个黑脸合音天使还有中间一个白脸主唱，模仿的就是红遍70年代的杰克森兄弟合唱团，当时只有5岁的流行天王麦可杰克森就是领衔主唱。美国演员小亨利康尼克说，“天啊！他们如果长那样在美国出道，就不会有现在的节目啦！”
特别来宾小亨利康尼克和主持人一搭一唱，节目效果是达到了，却有很多网友大为不满，批评这根本是种族歧视，刻意丑化黑人，节目主持人表示，“这是要悼念麦可杰克森，我想对澳洲观众来说，应该只会一笑置之。”
小亨利康尼克说，“我们费很大的精神不让黑人看起来像丑角，我们看到这个，只会觉得这就是娱乐效果而已。”
制作单位赶紧道歉，强调只是节目效果，娱乐节目是要用另一种方式哀悼已故天王麦可杰克森，只能说做秀归作秀，是不是大家都能接受那就见仁见智了。(新闻来源：东森新闻记者高竹君)

Australian TV show apologizes for blackface skit
Oct 8, 6:06 AM EDT By TANALEE SMITH Associated Press Writer
ADELAIDE, Australia (AP) -- An Australian variety show host has apologized for a skit in which singers parodying the Jackson Five performed in blackface.
American singer and actor Harry Connick Jr., who was serving as a guest judge on Wednesday night's "Hey Hey It's Saturday," was visibly shocked by the skit, in which four men with afro wigs and blackface sang and danced behind a Michael Jackson impersonator wearing white makeup.
Connick, 42, gave the performance a zero score and told them that if it had been done in the United States it would have been pulled off the air.
Blackface was a traditional trope of minstrel shows in the U.S. that dates to the 19th century. Whites playing stock black characters - usually offensive stereotypes meant to demean - rubbed coal, grease or shoe polish on their faces. Blackface performances are not common in Australia.
Public reaction to the "Hey Hey" performance in online forums was mixed. Some Australians said they were embarrassed such a racist sketch had been broadcast, while others said detractors were too politically correct and that the skit was funny.
Michael Jackson died June 25 at age 50.
At a news conference on other issues Thursday morning, opposition politician Helen Coonan labeled the skit "disgusting."
Host Daryl Somers apologized to Connick at the end of the live show.
"I know that to your countrymen, that's an insult to have a blackface routine like that on the show, so I do apologize to you," Somers said.
Connick said he would not have appeared on the show if he'd known about the skit.
"I just want to say, on behalf of my country, I know it was done humorously, but we've spent so much time trying to not make black people look like buffoons, that when we see something like that we take it really to heart," he told Somers after his apology.
Anand Deva, the frontman of the "Jackson Jive" act, said it was not meant to cause offense but added he would not have performed it in the United States.
"Hey Hey" ran for 27 years starting in 1971. The "Jackson Jive" group first appeared on the show 20 years ago and were invited back to reprise their roles during the second of two reunion shows for the once-popular program.
Today in Michael Jackson History
1994 - In Memphis, TN, Michael Jackson, Lisa Marie Presley and Janet Jackson attended the all-star "Elvis Aaron Presley - The Tribute."
1998 - It was reported that an application for a Michael Jackson concert in Kuala Lumpur had been rejected. The reason cited was "the effect it would have on the young." The city had also rejected a concert three years earlier.
1999 - Debbie Rowe filed for a divorce from Michael Jackson citing irreconcilable differences. The two were married on November 14, 1996. It was reported that Rowe was six months pregnant at the time of the wedding.
