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."

At unithe only other guy on my course was gay. At first, I was a little miffed at being deprived of manly companionship, but it turns out he was just like a *normal* man! I was *shocked* I tell you, *shocked*.
Well, except for his prediliction for teh cock, that is.
Anyhoo, he complained when someone (me) made a joke about a criminal getting his just desserts in the showers in prison.
Him: don't joke about that!
Me: hmmh?
Him: it's vile, you wouldn't make jokes about women getting raped, would you?
Me: *deep breath* *torrent of horrendous rape jokes*
Him: *shocked silence* Oh, ok then.
I like to think of myself as an equal opportunities offender.
I also like to think I'm doing my bit to defend civil liberties -- woo and yay for free speech!
