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."

It's like the priorities in the states are all a bit backward. Violence is fine, but swearing isn't. Guns are fine to carry around with you to dish out vigilante style law, but no boobs on TV. You can't drink until 21, but in some states you can drive at 15 and buy guns at 18. WTF.
