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."

Mam and dad.......walking down the road on the way to me mum's workplace, which is a local Primary School (she's a Teaching Assistant there). Halfway there, a school bus with loads of kids from there starts heading towards them, to which me mum says to dad "That's from me school, now don't do anything embarrasing"....
...to which my dad grabs her hand and starts walking like a monkey-mong man and waves at the bus full of kids while smiling like Joey Deacon. The 8-9 year old kids on the bus were all laughing and the teachers with them were all disgusted at the mong impersonation.
Cue many school kids for many weeks later walking upto my mum pretending to walk like me dad, unknown that they were looking like a comedy mong impression.
