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."
How has PC affected you? (Please add your own tales - not five-year-old news stories cut-and-pasted from other websites)

When should they stop drinking and spew on your doorstep then?I'd add to the list:
People driving 25mph in a 30mph zone.
Slow old ladies deciding to do their shopping during lunch hour, instead of some other time that isn't the only opportunity most office workers have to pick up some essentials.
Big Issue sellers wearing trainers that cost more than every item of clothing I'm wearing put together.
The man who patrols the shopping street with a Bible quote placcard, right across the road from a cathedral (ffs, if I wanted God, I could just go in there!)
But above all, I'll reserve my deepest hatred for the fuckers who stole my motorcycle!
