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."

English Government = Sh1tNot entirely on topic but reading this QOTW made me think. Why is it that we're not allowed to have an opinion but the government/HMRC are allowed to make an unencrypted and non-protected CD containing all the details of 25 million people, loose it and then face absolutely no consequences until the next election??
This country can really be a joke

meh1. You are allowed to have an opinion. Just try not to make it a racist / sexist or otherwise bigoted one. Does it really hurt to be nice to people?
2. Why is it the governments fault that some junior employee ballsed up. This was not a failure of the government, this was a junior employee being a fuckwit. And no matter what safeguards you put in place, people will still be fuckwits
That is all.

But...lets not go into a political debate because of a comment of mine, especially when the argument is one opinion against another as there can be no true winner in such a situation
