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."

Un-PC at Marks and SpencersWhilst working in the warehouse in marks and spencers this nice looking woman asked me and a workmate if we could reach something for her as it was to high for her.
My workmate quickly runs over to help her out, while I say
"oh flick your eyes you can get us to do anything for you"
To which she replied " Yes I can get any man to do anything for me"
She was laughing at this point....
until I said
"yes that's because your not a ginger"
She replied "I find that deeply offensive,I got to little ginger boys"
I tried to get out of it by saying its only ginger girls I don't like,
I just can't even look her in the eyes anymore and feel real bad.
This is way PC exists to protect people from me
