My extra blog for this week is another parody of the news depicted on Family Guy through the Blackuweathermeterologist Ollie Williams on Quahog's fictional Channel Five News. The show makes a mockery of meteorology through Ollie as insights into the weather range from "It gon rain" to "its raining sideways". The show is offering a parody of Al Roker through this African American character and although it is comedic it is also damaging to Roker's reputation as it puts at the forefront racial stereotypes and backgrounds professionalism.
