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."

this is whythere's always going to be issues.
westerners are never going to take islam seriously when muslims get so het up over something like naming a teddy bear or a cartoon. and the media will tar all muslims with the same extremist brush.
hardline islam won't realise that it is harming international relations for the millions of muslims who don't agree with its interpretation and everyone who doesn't want to live in basic squalor in the desert like it's still 632AD.
what a fuck up.
