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."
How has PC affected you? (Please add your own tales - not five-year-old news stories cut-and-pasted from other websites)

Xmas PC gone madA friend of mine worked in a Muslim school as a music teacher. (I don't know if she still does, so I'm not going to be more specific for obvious reasons.)
One year it was decided by someone that they should have a christmas carol festival. So she, as music teacher, had to go through all the carols rewriting them to take out any specific christian references.
Not as easy as you think.
