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

In my class...(I'm the teacher btw) we sometimes (when I've run out of stuff to teach) play hangman. As we are currently looking at plurals we tend to play with plurals so the kids tend to choose s first.
There is one kid who, after the first s has gone on, will shout SPAZZERS. So I have to tell him off, with out laughing and his response is always 'well it could be'.
So know that spazz is alive and well amongst the 9 year olds of our nation.
