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)

Censored By the PoliceAs some of you already know, I make my living (or at least some of it) as an artist. A few weeks ago myself and an anonymous collaborator had a show
here
The work we decided to put in was
this
and the title was 'Operation Bum Injection'
Anyway, after about 12 hours of being on display the Police came and took the work down, leaving me with nothing but an A4 piece of paper in the middle of a West End Gallery with 'This work has been removed after complaints made by public'
I was especially pissed off since the work in the gallery the week before was a photo of a bloke with his cock out injecting heroin, with swastikas tattooed on his chest.

Hmmm"The site showcases a diverse range of high quality contemporary art" Not that diverse obviously. Come and show it at LCC instead. No one will complain in Elephant & Castle. We see blokes with their cocks out injecting heroin everyday just crossing under the roundabout!!
