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."

kids booksi work for a book publishing company that fires books out to schools in the US. heres a bit of censorship we have to deal with :
: pictures of cows can't have udders showing
: photos of bulls must have testicles erased
: nipples to be erased from shirtless Egyptians
: definitely no dongs
: must be correct ratio of black/white/yellow/disabled/enabled people
the funny thing was in a book we done about American Indians (native americans) there was a question: "Do you know any other meanings of the word 'camp'?"
ah, yeah...
