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

"Holiday Season"
is perfectly common already in America. Not due to PC, due to it being a normal variant on "Festive Season" which has about the same meaning.
I just don't know why you'd get so annoyed about such a trivial thing. It's their film, not yours. Don't go and see it if you feel some trivial aspect of it is irreligious. You can't close down films because they slightly offend your religion. It's political correctness gone mad I tell you.
