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."

banana sweatNot so much PC as out-and-out racism...
So the drummer in the band I was in - a blond, blue-eyed, nazi poster boy - is going out with a beautiful black girl. One night she is talking about how if you eat garlic, you can smell it on you the next day. Quick as a flash, drummer boy replies "that's why you smell of bananas".
And she didn't leave him or kick his arse or anything.
Although later on she did sleep with one of his mates then lie about it and *then* leave him. I guess he deserved it.
