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."

MeetingsIm at work, its quiet. I was thinking, if there are these constant meetings/directives to "re-name" issues, surely everyone involved must know what the offensive word means in th efirst place (or they will have to define it) - I just see a mental image of all these hand-wringing people (prolly white, middle class) getting all up-tight cos they've used or thought of a word which is taboo and needs redefing
