This is a question 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."

Anyone remember that 70s TV show?
It was called "There's a Jew in my Shower!" In fact, I have it here and I'll copy the episodes verbatim from the VHS video box:

1) Holy Spear-Chucker - Reg comes home from the pub to find that a negro has moved into the ground floor flat. The dark-hued one is a Zambian bushman called Bonga-Bonga who has come to work at the local bank. He carries a spear everywhere, wears a grass skirt and has a bone through his nose. Hilarity ensues when Bonga-Bonga mistakes Reg's gift of a plane ticket back home as an invitation to have coitus with Reg's teenage daughter Sharon.

2) Not in My Backyard - Reg returns from the betting shop to discover that a gypsy encampment has been set up in his back garden. The smelly travellers have brought horses with them and they've shat all over Reg's prize tomatoes. Watch the craziness unroll as Reg sandbags his house and buys a high-powered rifle to pick them off one by one at night with a night-vision scope and dum-dum bullets.

3) Achtung Mein Fuhrer - Reg goes to the chiropodist, only to learn that Dr Heimsheim is of the Jewish persuasion. Cue a number of humorous situations as Reg struggles to eat a kosher chip butty, avoid a circumcision, sing "If I was a rich man" - and put his foot in it with inadvertent references to gas chambers and lampshades. Contains the famous scene where Reg loses his toe.

4) Chink Wop Nigger Paki - Reg is invited to the United Nations to speak on behalf of his working men's club in Rotherham. There, he discovers that the place has been overrun with foreigners of different colours, none of whom can speak English properly. Laugh yourself nauseous as Reg lets loose with a torrent of Tourette's-style racism and goes on a murder spree with a 12-bore shotgun until local police sedate him with a horse dart.

6) Reg's Ripped Arse - Reg finds himself in a Turkish prison, where he is befriended by a series of non-English men who use his arse in a homosexual fashion until poor Reg can't walk anymore. Then he's treated by Gupta, the Indian medic who mistakes Reg's gargles of pain for laughter and who therefore doesn't give him any painkillers. By mistake, his arse is sewn up and he has to shit through his ear.

7) Buried Alive - Owing to a mix-up at the cemetery, Reg finds himself in a coffin full of African bees. Laugh yourself epileptic as he is buried alive by a group of offended ethnic folk who urinate on his grave as they burn his house and do native dances. Reg's daughter Sharon gives birth to a brown baby and invites Bonga-Bonga's 234-strong extended family to live in Rotherham.

Fantastic, as usual!
I think we all learnt something here today...

Most amusing!
Not far off either. Look at Fawlty Towers - just about every episode has a scene where the joke is that Basil calls Manuel a stupid dago and hits him.

This.
You win, sir.

Poor Spike
Sounds very much like the episode listing for "Curry and Chips", Spike Milligans 1970's disaster!
