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)

BiscuitsOnce in a queue in Skeltons bakery (for those not familiar, it's one of those shops that sell cakes, bread, sausage rolls and overpriced sandwiches).
The girl in front of me asked for a gingerbread person. The dinnerlady lookalike behind the counter physically winced, before turning round and calling out:
"Maureen? How much are the gingerbread men?"
I made that snorty noise that you do when you fail to suppress laughter.
