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."

I work in the public eyeoffering a service, and if one of our machines break down, we have to call out an engineer, We are 'graded' into three groups. Gold, Silver and Bronze. 'Gold' systems have to be attended to within a certain time frame, 'Silver' are allowed to be down a little longer, and 'Bronze' will be seen to as soon as an engineer is free.
Until someone thought that the 'Bronze' section would find deep offence at being 'third'
What did they do...rename us to 'Platinum' 'Gold' and 'Silver'
