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."

My favourite gay joke (I'm gay, I'm allowed. :P), is one told by Zipster (check Youtube). It's a visual one, so it's tricky to describe, but here goes:
Q: Why do gay men walk around gay bars like this? *striking a campy pose with arms up and out to the side*.
A: Because it's too crowded to walk around like this. *same pose, but arms WAY out and VERY campy*.
Made me giggle.
