Political Correctness Gone MadFreddy Woo writes: "I once worked on an animation to help highlight the issues homeless people face in winter. The client was happy with the work, then a note came back that the ethnic mix of the characters were wrong. These were cartoon characters. They weren't meant to be ethnically anything, but we were forced to make one of them brown, at the cost of about 10k to the charity. This is how your donations are spent. Wisely as you can see."

hahaI remember having (and winning) an argument with someone in the pub who was convinced that Niger was pronounced with a hard g as opposed to the soft 'j' sound. I also avoided a potential glassing from a rather large Jamaican gentleman, who was sat opposite and was convinced that my opponent in the debate was trying to be racist, and wasn't actually just thick as pig shit.
