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."

I recall all that shite
And the fateful day when, horror of horrors, the rapper who sang the theme song for the film accidentally said 'Ninja' instead of 'Hero' live on TOTP, oh the furore of 'Won't Somebody Think Of The Children!!®'
Largely tabloid driven as I recall, and as for the Star Wars thing, that man Lucas ret-conns (ie bullshits) so damn much now it's anyone's guess.
