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)

The Cookie Monsterwas originally concieved as an advertising character for Frito-Lay. Fast food snack manufacturers spend billions every year to brainwash kids into eating the shit they pedal. Kids are stoopid; FACT. They cannot make their own decisions. They have more contact with TV than with their parents.
To those people who say "Would you put your hand in a garbade disposal just because adverts say you should?" I respond with "No, because no one is spending 10 billion dollars a year trying to convince me that putting my hand in a garbage disposal will make me look cool and sexy. I might if they were."
