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."

rswipeThe title The Golden Compass was used for the book in the US. It was published there first, and TGC was actually a working title for the trilogy. Because the alethiometer resembled a compass, they decided to use that name. When it was published in the UK, the trilogy was called His Dark Materials, and the first book named Northern Lights.
A great read regardless of title.
And yes, Resident Loon, I am trying to apply logic to religion, and failing miserably!
