Political Correctness Gone Mad
Freddy 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."

my friend's dad
Is from South Africa, and something of a relic from the Apartheid days. I can barely go round his house without hearing the aforementioned father saying something about 'Bleks' or 'Keffas'. it's quite embarrassing really, but then once you've been told a lie a million times it becomes the truth i guess.
