Political Correctness Gone Mad
Freddy 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."

beards
A couple of chaps who live together on the next corner from my mum and Dad are family friends and we have known them for years.
Anyways my brother answers the door to one of the chaps and they begin to have a discussion about beards as they were both sporting said facial furniture.
I stride up to the front door to pick up my keys bellowing; 'Aye, shavings fer gays'...
Pick up my keys, turn and stride off leaving my brother to deal with the tidal wave of my stupidity.
