TL;DR Summary

Boston radio producer Chris Curtis has been suspended for one week after making an ethnic slur about ESPN NFL analyst Mina Kimes on air. Curtis apologized on Thursday's show, saying his comments were a "pathetic failed attempt at a one-liner" and that he meant to say actress Mila Kunis instead. Kimes is Korean on her mother's side, while the slur Curtis used is an abbreviation for a derogatory term for people of Japanese descent. ESPN issued a statement condemning the comments, and Kimes changed her Twitter profile picture to one of Kunis in response.
