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."

Heard of this...
...T&J are my fave cartoons in the world. Myself and my brother both loved them as kids and still do now in our thirties. Granted, we spent most of our childhood beating the crap out of each other, but it's completely unrelated, I swear ;)
Which is why I mean to begin collecting the Classic Collection DVDs for his benefit and my own at my earliest convenience.
Bastards - They're taking a major and fondly-remembered part of my childhood away here - I'm not having it :)
