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."

"I dont get why ..."I'll kiss my boyfriend in public on the street on a busy Friday night after pubs are chucking out and I'll explain to you in hospital why.
The award isn't for being gay (otherwise I would have a mantlepiece groaning under the weight of several hundred) it is for being an openly gay sportsman. Something which takes a lot of courage.
Ask Justin Fashanu.
Oh yeh.
