LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - A Islamic rights group has filed a federal complaint against a Los Angeles talk radio station and the nation's largest radio chain over a skit that suggested Iraqis want to kill Jews, marry camels, avoid bathing, and meet Japanese schoolgirls in heaven.

Meanwhile, an official for the Clear Channel Communications station, KFI-AM, said she would read an apology on the air for the March 10 broadcast by morning-show host Bill Handel, which triggered the Federal Communications Commission (news - web sites) complaint.

"The Handel show was attempting to make a satirical point about the extremist Iraqis in Iraq (news - web sites)," KFI Program Director Robin Bertolucci told Reuters. "In the process, we unwittingly offended a lot of people, and for that we are very sorry. That was not our intention. Our intention was to be satirical."

Sorry, but if I had heard it, I would probably be laughing my ass off. Doesn't look good for Clear Channel Comm. though.
