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

crippleMy teenage son fractured his ankle recently and had a cast on his leg and was given crutches for 4 weeks.
Walking around Asda, I said "Hurry up cripple".
Some unsightly harridan complained at me saying she found it offensive. I told her that:-
a. What I call my son is no business of hers
b. That my son was far more agile on his crutches than she was
c. To stop interfering or I'll report her for harrassment.
She wandered off looking rather deflated whilst my son had a bloody good laugh.

Now that's what I call "Being a Dad"... giving the lad a laugh while teaching your lad a good deal about how shite the whole "PC" thing is.
