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."

Willard PriceI remember them too - Flying fish, making rafts after getting stuck on desert islands, polynesia, moonfish... I could go on.
Reminds of my favourite book of my childhood (a couple of years earlier though than these) - about Plop the barn owl, who was afraid of the dark. He kept wolfing down food that his parents bought him, and talking to people about the dark and how it was scary. Wonderful kids book...
EEEEK!!!
