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."

Tired of all this PC bullshit?Why not spend Christmas in Switzerland...
During the elections, the ever-so-slightly right-wing party ran a series of ad campaigns, one depicting a black sheep being pushed out of switzerland by a group of white sheep, the other showing a nice graph where the increase in the number of muslims in switzerland correlated to the increase in violent crimes.
Not that I in any way condone this kind of petty hate-mongering, but it makes a change after having to sign 150 'greetings' cards wishing people 'a restive festive season'...

I think I rememberseeing those posters. They were just getting ready for the elections when I was moving to Italy. They did freak me out a bit, but I believe the Swiss have only recently been so tough on immigrants.
