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)

I agree . . .Being a doctor, I'm not going to suggest people take up smoking (nor do I smoke), but by the same token, you all *know* it's bad for you, and you'll quit when ready, not before (and certainly not because someone tells you to).
It's interesting that smokers seem to be rated below heroin addicts (they're *addicted* you see), prostitutes (just earning a living), and Johnny Howard (the lying git). In fact the only group more vilified than smokers are the overweight . . .
