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."

What would get on your nerves more? somebody calling a blackboard by its name or somebody wandering over in a pub, patronising you and making a big deal over the fact that you happen to be doing something that doesn't involve other people =P
As Phlash said, now we have people to get offended for everybody else
