Political Correctness Gone Mad

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)

It was actually Asda, but close.
And I know, I go around calling people whatnots willy nilly and all of a sudden my jobs on the line? Changed days, I tell thee.
Bonus fact: apparantly at my friend's induction for Morissons they stood up and went "Here is a list of words you CAN'T use...*ahem*...SPASTIC...SPACKA...MIDGET...POOF..." It went on like that for quite some time.
