    Sounds like GM hired Lorne Michaels to create this one:

    General Motors Co. (GM), seeking to boost China sales 75 percent by 2015, apologized for a Chevrolet ad that included a song referring to “the land of Fu Manchu” where all of the girls sing “ching, ching, chop-suey,” which one Hong Kong newspaper called racist.

    Meanwhile, over at Buick, spokesman Shaquille O'Neal said:
    "I may be retired, but I'm still ching-chong-yang-wah-ah-soh."
