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."
How has PC affected you? (Please add your own tales - not five-year-old news stories cut-and-pasted from other websites)

Robinson´s JamMany moons ago when I was still bright-eyed and saw the world through rose coloured spectacles,a certain make of jam/marmalade had a wonderful promotional offer where you sent off a couple of labels from their products and they sent you a badge of their mascot.
After wolfing down three fucking pots of Blackcurrant jam,annoying the tits off my mother to send the bloody labels,waiting with nigh-on hysterics for two weeks,snatching the parcel off the postman,screaming triumphantly that I was the first in my class to get his,proudly putting the badge on my jumper and beaming all the way to school.......I was told by a teacher that I couldn´t wear it.
It was a Golliwog.I was 5 years old.and they said I was racist.
I had no idea of the history of the golliwog and the tyrannical oppression it apparently represents-which made it all the more difficult for mummy to explain why I couldn´t wear my badge,yet they could show adverts featuring the fucking thing on national television and on billboards all over England.
Thanks to the PC brigade,I got shat on at the age of 5 and all I had to show for it was a filling in my tooth from eating what is essentially 3 pots of refined,foul tasting sugar.
Cunts.I hope you´re satisfied.
Length????.........About 3 seconds after I got through the school gates................

Happened to a friend of my mum'sShe was going past an antique shop in Glasgow and there was a golliwog statue in it and when she pointed it out the shopkeeper called her racist. She ended up in a full scale argument in the street with him, drawing in a crowd that backed her up. What I wonder is, if the guy thought it was so racist, why was he selling it and what was he advertising it as?
