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."

thank f*ck
i thought it was just me.
MOWO just wouldn't be acceptable, and to be honest it would be james blunt and david "earnest" gray.
It would give Craig David a dilemma though - which one? Go for MOBO and possibly not win, MOWO and win every year for the rest of his life.
Good is Good. Bernie Taupin wrote good sings with Elton and no-one thought of a music of gay origin awards ceremony even though half of england are supposedly gay.
Celebrate differences but compete together.
