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."

This is anti PC, but here goes anywayMy 16 year old daughter is attending a New Zealand high school for a year. She lives in a really rural part of Taranaki. Some of the kids expressed the desire to visit our family. she said, "That would be great, but you absolutely, positively have to stop saying the word that starts with n and rhymes with bigger. Dude, I'm serious."
They all laughed and took the piss. Pip, the coolest kid there singsongs, "What's the matter, is someone going to get his ickle feewings hurt if we don't, ow?"
"No, dude, you'll die. Say that word in Detroit, some gangbanger'll knife your motherfcking ass."
All laughter and mickey taking stops immediately.
