This is a question 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."

Just for Pooflake this one....
We are no longer allowed to point out the differences between the colours of Poo and Semen, as drawing any form of comparison between white and brown is now completely frowned upon no-matter what the circumstances.

and just to add the fun..

Appreciated ;)

I have a feeling this might turn into a distinctly moody QOTW. Hats off to you for lightening the tone!

Oh hang on..lightening? Is that racist?

Indeed it is
you must say "lifting the tone". then again that might offend people with muscular conditions as they may find it harder to lift things


GAH!!!

and i'd just like to point out that my last two posts were moody ;)

You don't want to say "tone" either, as that suggests colour. How about "mood"?

Oh wait, that might be offensive to depressives.

everything
will offend the depressives one way or another =P

You can't
say "mood" as that could be seen as discriminating against people with depression, or those on rag week.

I think you have to say "Ambience"

Ambience?
I'm ambidextrous and find your remark both hurtful and threatening.

Ambi-Pure will also be hearing from my legal team.
