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."

This is a case
where one person has been a bit stupid, or perhaps was even just playing a joke on these santas. Either way, the company has made it clear that it's not their idea or policy.
So if you want to get into the news just make up something like this and start telling people off. Every tabloid newspaper and internet messageboard in the world will be reporting your words within days.
