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."

ooh ooh, got another oneI was about 14 before I released that the lovely black couple that owned the corner shop near to my Grandparents weren't actually called "Mr and Mrs Sambo". WHat if I'd asked for them by name once?
*Shudders*
And they called the indian couple "The Guptas" but that may actually have been their name....
