Specifically, your point of appropriation, and maybe on some deeper level a study of race relationships. Especially those square, stiff anchors when they cut back, chortling, "Some people will do ANYthing for a pot of gold ... hah, hah, hah." Then White Guy: "Ho, ho, ho, that was a good story." (Translation: "Those black folks -- wait, he probably says "colored" -- are god damn crazy.") <br/><br/>The other point to be made is: This qualifies as news? Is the news station taking advantage of (read: exploiting) the people in this neighborhood or vice versa? <br/><br/>Well, whatever. It's damn funny. And that "amateur sketch" is fricking classic. Like it was done with a No. 2 pencil on a post-it note. <br/><br/>Great stuff. This is so funny and sad and disturbing on many levels.
