Politically Correct Ranger

My favorite local radio talk show host, Ralph Bristol, has been doing a series lately called the "PC Ranger," wherein the hero enforces ridiculous politically correct policies around the country. It's really just a way to point out funny news stories, but it's pretty good. Here's a taste from his latest offering:
Now, to Reno, Nevada, where a mobile phone company committed the crime of using "non-standard English" and a wide-eyed black male in its billboard advertisements. The PC Ranger forced Nextel Communications to apologize for the ads which were geared toward teens and featured a black male asking "Where you at?" Critics said it exploits black youths and resurrects an ethnic form of slavery.

Because heaven forbid that people in the TV talk the way people in the real world talk.
