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

Non PC where I work
Which is in the back of beyond (the arse end of nottingham)
One of the designers where I work kept making comments about my 'kinky' boots (I wear knee length boots when I have a skirt on to cover up a big tattoo on my leg) and then progressed to asking me if I was a Nazi
"Seeing as I'm half Jewish I think that's unlikely don't you" I shot back...
to$$er slunk off red faced
This is why pc has got so OTT - people are stupid.
