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."
How has PC affected you? (Please add your own tales - not five-year-old news stories cut-and-pasted from other websites)

Cinema school outingsNow this made me smile; happened to my friends class when he was in Primary school.
On the Xmas trip one of the younger classes were organise to go to the cinema, to watch the next Christmas film. The film is chosen, and the class of 8-9 year olds are all ferried to the local Odeon.
They sit through the trailers and adverts then the feature presentation appears...."Howard The Duck".
Oh dear.
The first scene is Howard in his department and someone swears. The teachers twitch a bit. Then Howard gets blasted by that ray, and pulled through the walls of the flat, passing the woman-duck in the bath with her tits out.
Cue twenty kids being ushered out of the cinema with the teachers freaking on the ticket sellers about "unsuitable filth".
Made the local Evening Post too :)
