Political Correctness Gone Mad
Freddy 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."

Bradford
I'm born and bred in Bradford, West Yorkshire. In Bradford they have Divali lights for Divali, and Eid lights for Eid. But for Christmas?
"Holiday Lights". Which are usually just the Eid/Divali lights with the words "Eid Mubarak" not lit up
