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'm not actually a smokermany things people do are self destructive, including practising religion and smoking, not to mention countless other lifestlye choices. i dont like seeing my freedom eroded because of politically correct do-gooders who decide to tell me how to live. first it's smoking, which i don't do. then it'll be drinking, which also gives you cancer, and i do this on a regular basis, as do most of my fellow countrymen. then what?
either flexibility and tolerance applies to all, or to none. wicca'd witch proves the point well, as (s)he has a personal opinion that smoking is worse than practising religion. others disagree.
