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."

POLICE PERHAPS RACIST SHOCKA?At a football match I met a pal of a pal who wasn't the sharpest person I have ever met. Ipso facto he had not found a job after leaving school and had instead gone to police training college.
He related how they had had training in racism that week. The person in charge had asked the class to write down all the racist words they could think of for black people.
Proudly he announced "It was great - I was top of the class with most words....."

I have a friend who is a policeman...when asked if he's racist, he answers quite truthfully..."I don't care what colour they are, I hate everyone"

Reminds me of the 'joke'When a friend of mine heard the police were on the lookout for 'racist attackers' he gave them a call. Imagine his surprise when he was told it wasn't a job advert!
