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."

mobilityIt's a real piss-take that any costly changes be made to public transport to accomodate wheelchair users.
I don't have anything against our mechanically mobile bretheren, but they do get a specific motability benefit of up to £160ish per month, which is optionally redeemable for a free fucking car!
Taxpayers: Don't pay once for 'ripples, pay twice!
I also seen a lot of job adverts quoting some regulation that allowed them to specify gender when I was looking into working in social care. Apparently, a male carer isn't trusted not to violate a mong-lady's whimsy while he wipes her arse and changes her nappy. But if he's gay he can bugger any man-mong he is given unsupervised access to?!
