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."

Disabled (or differently abled?) toilets.In the sorting office I am responsible for, Royal Mail went to great effort and expenditure to update the toilet. Bear in mind that this toilet is for the exclusive use of postmen who's job involves lots of walking or cycling.
They only went and installed a disabled toilet. Surely anyone who is too disabled to use a normal shitter is too disabled to be a postie?

Not trueMy postman is a quadriplegic. I've been waiting for six weeks now for a subscription. I can see him crawling down the street with his tongue, but I know they don't like it if you stop them and ask for your mail.
