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 Local Redkneck PubBeing from the lovely "Racially Challenged" Gloucestershire, there were very few people of minorities at either of my schools, i say this only so you can appreciate how little the experience of people over 30 years older than me are.
anywho, my local pub The Bell has recently been dragged kicking and screaming into the year 2002 by buying a Touchscreen ITbox, being up my own arse and thinking i'm a genious i often play WordUp. This gives me the opportunity to listen in on many of the wonderful convosations of the Hillbillies.
Bloke 1: "Hey Pete them why you are banned from Tesco's"
Bloke 2: "I was in the fruit and veg aisle and i saw a blackie looking at the banana's, i was stood next to a lassie stocking the shelves and all i said was, I bet he feels at home there, then the police were called. i said to them at least i didn't call him a nig-nog-wig-wam"
to this day i have yet to hear nig-nog-wig-wam said again. i think without the strong west country accent it wouldn't have the same affect.
