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."

At the cinema...I hate these new OTT guidelines that say: "May contain scenes of mild peril" or some other crap - someone who suffers from Mild Peril Syndrome won't get out their front door never mind all the way to the pixtures. Another one I saw was the nuts, in Mr Bean's Holiday: "Contains irresponsible behaviour" - I, like, shit you not, man. What's next? "May potentially contain one vague reference to an idea in the field of Wood Studies which has been frowned upon by the government for 3 months in 1976, thus making this a BAD thing for anyone to view in a motion picture" !!1
