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."

A Good Idea, Perhaps Poorly Executed...Not so much a PC story, but a totally un-PC one.
My university held a themed night to help raise money for HIV charities.
The theme?
Pimps and hookers.
No lie.
Thank god they weren't raising money for preventing child abuse. Imagine the costumes...
