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)

A friend of mine.Not me, but a friend. A social challenger i.e. doesn't like to conform. Lets call him John.
John was telling me that at school, he found a pic of Rory Breaker from Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, img216.imageshack.us/img216/8028/imageba7.jpg (not this actually image) and added the caption.
"Is this some white cunt's joke that black cunts don't get?"
And took them up around school. A day or so later he is pulled into the heads office and confronted with the poster.
John said "I am sorry if the word cunt was offensive"
Head "That is not what is wrong, it is the racism within the poster"
John "That's not raced, the black guy said it".
John had to take down the posters. He wouldn't have minded if they had asked him to take them down due to the cunt word. PCism!!!
