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."

I was in conversationwith someone who had worked with the HSE (Health and Safety Executive).
Apparently the HSE are sick and tired of being blamed for all sorts of idiocies. Institutions decide their own silly rules, and then blame them on 'health and safety'. Nothing to do with the HSE, who end up taking the rap because some people can't be bothered to justify petty regulations (which are usually put in place just in case someone sues them - however remote the prospect).
