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."

Cola = many colons?!Surely it's be "colons"- see (appropriately enough)- "Definition" and "Definitions". I doubt that a group with the surname Johnson would appreciate being collectively called The Johnsa!
Next ban: Dr Pepper. As a "Pepper" would be someone who does something to a "Peppee". Which is dangerously close to PeePee, so it's a link to piss-fetishism. Which some find offensive.
