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."

Notice that went round my Sixth Form from the headmaster/teacher/person. Hey, it made me chuckle!
And I'm not racist - my current lady is half Scottish, half Saudi, and was born in Aberystwyth. Doesn't stop me telling hundreds of racist jokes though (lovingly stolen from Sickipedia), within plain earshot of my ex-Gurkha colleague. And this is in the bakery of a well-known supermarket created by a Mr Morrison.

Heh heh hehI should hope not. School kids shouldn't even know what "snowballing" is, let alone be doing it near school.

More scandalI must point out this is the very same school that experienced a sex scandal between 2 members of staff caught on the tape in the mid 90s. Featured on the front page of the Sun it did. So all you wannabe detectives might work out where this is from :p

Reminds me of a Jimmy Carr joke.
He asks the audience if any of them know what snowballing is then follows it up with a comment about how he 'found out the hard way'...
