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."

Religious Days Off
I've always wanted to try this:
1) Declare my religious affiliation as Norse Gods (I've got the 'heritage' for it).
2) Ask for Odin's Day off.
3) After I get it, explain that it's also pronounced "Wotan's Day", "Woden's Day", or Wednesday.
4) Ask for Thor's Day off.
