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."

I used to work...In the HR dept of a London Hospital. It was during the time the Iraq war (latest one) was kicking off. Just before lunch I said I was 'Just shooting down to Sainsburys if anyone wanted anything'. I was told that I shouldn't be using words like that in our current climate!!!
So I said ok, 'I'm going to bomb around to tesco's instead!'
