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."

I might have suggest a violent reaction...
...but no one tosses a dwarf.
Seriously, though, if you're going to employ somebody who is, without question, too short to do it, why not give them a pair of (Health & Safety certified) platform shoes or a portable step ladder? Or a periscope or something?
I suspect they may want our money. I know it doesn't sound like them, but you never know...
