100,000 humorless goons sign White House petition to censor Jimmy Kimmel

A petition calling for President Obama to investigate ABC’s “Jimmy Kimmel Live” over a recent politically incorrect segment has garnered 100,000 signatures, earning an official response from the White House.

The segment aired on October 16th, and involved host Jimmy Kimmel interviewing kids about important public policy questions for a skit called “Kids Table.” When Kimmel asked what the government should do about the substantial debt the U.S. owes to China, a six-year-old boy named Braxton responded, “Kill everyone in China.”

Later, Kimmel humorously polled the group of six year olds on the question of whether the U.S. should allow the Chinese to live. The kids then debated whether China would retaliate against the U.S. for killing everyone in the country, prompting Kimmel to declare this “Kids Table: The Lord of the Flies Edition.”

An anonymous petitioner did not find the segment funny, and penned a petition on the Whitehouse.gov site asking the government to investigate Kimmel’s show.
