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."

Sorry for pasting an' all, but I actually know this guy. He is a first-class tit, certainly neither bright nor personable enough to compete for the jobs he applies for - and the best (or worst) part of it is, he's now gone to study at law school, so he can learn to represent himself...
Oooh ooh, also, years and years ago I was in Cornwall, in a tiny village only a couple of miles from Land's End. We decided to lunch at the local hostelry. I was amused and dismayed in equal measure to find that they'd listed a certain sandwich on the menu as a 'plowperson's lunch.'
I didn't buy it. I could claim that this was my personal stand against the strictures of the imaginary PC-nazis, but actually, I just don't like pickle.
I have also had a complaint of racism brought against me for calling someone a Scouser, but that's another story...

...I'd heard about this guy a while ago. I do have a grudging admiration for him, just insofar as he displays enormous chutzpah. But he's overwhelmingly a twunt, all the same.

The worst thing about this is...That it gives a bad name to people who may genuinely be the victims of work place discrimination.

@NitrousNo? Really? An insight that dazzling risks making my eyes bleed.

@enzymeWhat's the matter? Was the papershop sold out of the Daily Mail this morning?
