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."

Nowt wrong with being a bin man..If it'd been me I'd have grinned and pointed out that everyone's shit is my bread and butter... have a giggle: we've all got to have jobs... but to be ashamed of what you do and try to paint it in words is silly.
I once gave a job to a fella who'd listed one of his past jobs as being "A marine heating and coating tchnician"... awe-struck with mental images of oilrigs and so on, I asked him to explain. "Worked in a chippy" he said. After picking my giggling ass off the loor he got the job.
