Forgotten Electronics of the 70s and 80s
Ant writes "This is where you can find photos of those unusual items which somehow missed our keen attention in the 70s and 80s. Be it a specialty product, electronic novelty or an utter boondoggle from a major electronics outfit of the day, we'll dig 'em up and talk about 'em."

...!

The conversation goes like this:
- Hello, 911, how can I help you?
-Yes, someone is trying to break into my home and kill my children!
-'Kay, ma'am, stay calm. Are you a negro?
-Huh?
-Are you a negro?
-Uh, yeah.
-'Kay. Bye.
-But

This is the usual greeting for negroes in Williamsburg, Lousiana when calling emergency services. But no more.
Starting this week, 911 operators in Williamsburg will be forced by law to give higher priority to negro callers than police dispatches to a car alarm.
"This is outrageous", says Billy Joe Bob, a 911 operator since 1984. "This [expletive] Democrat governement is killing us.", he declared. "What next, dipatching actual police officers to a negro neighborhood?"
The new law, RL-215, was put into effect last week.Known supporters of this new law are known preacher/actor Al Sharpton an circus freak Michael Jackson.
When contacted by phone, Al Sharpton declared that he did not "wanna come round Alabama[sic], cuz last time them people received me with stones and shit. You people is crazy!". Michael Jackson could not be contacted. An answering machine at Michael Jackson residence/hole-in-the-ground greeted our reporters with monkey shrieks.
The police chief of Williamsburg didn't answer our queries over the phone when contacted. Instead, he drove to our building asking for the reporter that called him a while ago. Visibly angry, he proceeded to punch one of our reporters in the eye.
While leaving, he declared " Bulls---. This is all a piece of sh--. Fu----- negroes!.
