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."

Drunken RacismOk, usually the sight of a pissed up saturday night punter shouting "Grrah! ffuckin PAKI!" at a kebab shop owner isn't the most pleasing.
This one occasion had 2 exceptions.
1. The slurred words were issuing from the mouth of my usually mild mannered friend, Sanjeet.
2. The kebab shop owner was turkish.

turkish delightMy girlfriend ad I were in a turkish run takeaway when this lairy ben sherman shirted lout comes in demanding his bunger and chips, then he starts to rag the insulated takeaway mans delivery bag out of his hand.
Que young turkish boke vault out from behind counter, duck, weave and lamp said drunkard spinning him like a top whereupon his eyebrow connected with the door latch and proceeded to split pissing blood everywhere.
