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."

In the build up to the elections a couple of years back, I attended a fund-raising event. A couple of guys were going around with buckets to ask people for spare change, but some people complained and said they'd already donated.
The two guys went ballistic. They pulled out a couple of handguns and shot half a dozen people, before setting fire to the place and then shooting themselves.
That's my experience of political collectors gone bad.
Length? With a bit of heavy petting and a roller-skate, I can do a good impression of R2D2.
