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."

No Means NoWhile a student many years ago there was an SU campaign against sexual harrassment with the tagline "No Means No".
In an interview with the SU newspaper about this campaign, I think it was one of the exec (I can't remember her name or which post she held) who voiced an opinion along the line that men who bought flowers for their girlfriends were rapists. As I had recently bought a dozen roses for my bird I was a little upset at this suggestion.
Thanks to a helpful member of the local Constabulary, the headline the following week featured a picture of someone coming out of a florist's store being arrested.
Hardly a good way to get your point across, especially when it opens you up to such lampooning.
Personally I am completely against any non-consensual sexual attention or act, but prefer to voice my opinions in a less contraversial style.
