    Discriminav Racially Discriminating GPS System: Far-Fetched?


    Discriminav, the fictional product depicted in this sketch from the Fox Network's Talkshow with Spike Feresten is an over-the-top concept. But wait. Honestly, aren't there some areas of your town you'd rather not drive through in the middle of the night?

    Our GPS system proposed a route through the most crime-ridden area of a large American city at 1AM last weekend, and we were wishing our GPS unit were aware of crime statistics. Maybe Discriminav is not that far from a real product after all. Behind comedy lies at least some truth. Not that we're for discrimination or anything like that. Help us out here.

    Is this a racist concept, or something that could be truly useful? Take the poll, after the jump.
