Political Correctness Gone Mad
Freddy 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."

You got off lightly then....
...PTA meeting; me mum comes into school and talks to my Biology Teacher, a Mr Mainwaring. Mainwaring was a complete wind-up bastard, and would get away with murder.
First thing he said to her was "You see, the problem with Jeccy here is that he's too busy playing with himself in the bedroom....."
"I BEG YOUR PARDON!"
".....always on that computer, or playing games or something."
"...oh, um...yeah."
