Political Correctness Gone Mad

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."

In My first year of University...
..I shared a room with a Lad called John: quite litterally the son of a preacher-man. He was a no-sex-before-marriage flavour of god-botherer, and damned sound bloke. (read about hom here) b3ta.com/questions/experts/post34393
I was ub-educated in his flavour of church, wo was surprised to see him in a pub 2 hours after he'd "gone to worship"... turns out they had a ball for an hour, then went to the pub and had a good old social time and got Drunk.
While I have no truck with religon, so long as it's not foisted upon me -or used as justification to threaten my life or others - then I'm cool with it.
