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."
How has PC affected you? (Please add your own tales - not five-year-old news stories cut-and-pasted from other websites)

IIRCOne episode had the dad contemplating whether to smash up an old Victorian fireplace that he thought looked rather pretty. At which point the ghost of the guy who made it appeared to him and pointed out that the owners of the fireplace had been rich bastards. So that was OK then.
Basically the programme was as subtle as getting hit over the head with a lamp-post.
