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."

Feedforward? What utter crapIn electronics, there are two types of feedback - positive and negative.
Positive feedback usually leads to oscillation (think of howlround when a microphone gets too close to a loudspeaker), whereas negative feedback is applied to adjust the gain of, and hence control, an amplifier.
So negative feedback is actually more useful. Feedforward makes no sense whatsoever.
