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."

legend reallyi got talking to an iraqi bloke about racial abuse and how much trouble he was having
then we got onto the subject of some gay bloke i know
he told me "homosexuality is wrong"
i was a bit surprised at this attitude as he'd just spent a while talking to me about how ridiculous racial prejudice was
"you think that?"
"yeah," he said "when i got to the pub with my homosexual friends, i tell them that being homosexual is wrong"
"what do they say to that?"
"they tell me that i shouldnt be heterosexual as it is wrong."
i walked away from that conversation a little confused.
