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."
How has PC affected you? (Please add your own tales - not five-year-old news stories cut-and-pasted from other websites)

It's PC gone mad, I tell you!
You wouldn't get clamped for not displaying a permit, you would get fined. Local authorities don't have inspectors, they have "parking patrol officers" (natty name, huh...) and I doubt very much that someone on the phone would be able to tell you which chap booked you, let alone share personal information about them, given the amount of assaults on parking pa... traffic wardens.
I call bull.
