Iowahawk: Canadian Public Service Announcement: "Reminding You to Think Before You Think"
This, from his Canadian Radio Classics skit, helping him deal with the Orwellian-off-kilter entity that is the Canadian Human Rights Commission.
Here's the PSA break from the radio script; probably the only part of the satire that is safe-for-work (unless, of course, you are in Canada, and a member of the HRC is reading over your shoulder):
Man's Voice
Stupid foreigners!
Sound FX:
jail door slamming shut
Man's Voice
Hey! Grrrr!
Announcer
Thanks to stepped up enforcement and
random internet checks, Canadian speech crimes have been cut nearly in
half over the last three years. It's a record all Canadians can be
proud of, but it's only a first step.
Man's Voice (echo-y reverb)
Stupid foreigners!
Announcer
Experts estimate that only 1/2 of 1%
of all Canadian speech crimes are ever prosecuted, because most occur
in the shadowy silence of private thought. It's time that all Canadians
work together to recognize and report these non-verbal crimes before
it's too late. If you know or suspect someone of harboring or
contemplating offensive or otherwise un-Canadian ideas, please report
to your Provincial Human Rights Office.

Announcer
This has been a public service
announcement of the Royal Canadian Mounted Human Rights Police,
reminding you to Think Before You Think.
Satire is a sometime thing with me, but it is lines like those magnified, above, that will probably bring me back to Iowahawk for more.
Occasionally.
