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."

Makes my blood boilI am a Sikh and I was working on the International Space Station recently. NASA said that because I was a Sikh, I was to wear a turban in case other Sikhs saw footage of me without one and could be offended.
I protested, saying that my space helmet wouldn't fit over it, but they were having none of it.
According to the roster, it was my turn to go outside and fix stuff. So I had to go outside, with no helmet and just a turban to protect me from the cold vacuum of space.
That certainly made my blood boil, I can tell you.
As lengthy as my inverted trachea and distended colon.

...I know I shouldn't, but I think I'm going to *click*.
Yup. Thought I would.
