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)

Bob Toddthe phrase "argue our case" gave me an amusing image.
"You're not disabled"
"Yes I am."
"Prove it."
"I'm in a wheelchair."
"No youre not."
"Look I clearly am."
"Prove it."
"I- what...?"
"Prove it."
"Erm..... I'm in a chair, with wheels."
"Okay then, you can have your badge. Just climb that ladder over there."
"I can't, I'm disabled."
"Ah! You passed the test. You'd be surprised how many people get fooled by that one!"
"None?"
"Yes, around that figure. Here's your badge."
Excuse me, I got a bit carried away there.
Also excuse the apparent sarcasm of my previous reply, I am indeed not one of those cunts who parks in disabled spaces. But then, I'm 15 and can't legally drive.
