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."

I wouldn't mind a nanny...
It's worrying that all the people who decry the "nanny state" seem to be hankering for a "drunken stepdad state". I'll take too much caring rather than not enough, thank you.
