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)

ScopeMrswoodbine came home from work the other day and we were having our usual banter when she turned around and called me a 'scope'.
I asked her what she meant and she told me that her boss had called her the same thing at work after doing something particularly daft. When she had asked what a scope was her boss replied,
"Well you can't call them spastics any more"
How we laughed and now we call each other a scope all the time. Political correctness, pah!
Did I mention Mrswoodbine works for a firm of solicitors? No? Ah...
