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)

Sorry mate, I'm not trying to be patronisingBut there definitely IS a line. You can be arrested for swearing at a copper, you're not allowed to lie in court, you can be sued for libel, the list goes on. 'Free speech' is all well and good, but if you really think about it there do need to be limits. Very lax limits, sure - but still, there should be limits. I'm not saying that David Irving and Nick Griffin should be completely censored, but I'm also not saying they should be allowed to peddle their hate-filled message. It's for smarter people than me to decide.
