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."

Hmm, ok
My point was really to ask why they find it necessary to highlight this in all of their emails. Point taken about the weather, though!
But I think my final point about PC stands - which is to that when people find a sub-section of society that they can impose draconian rules upon, they REALLY go to town!
I'll be quiet now.
