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."

Hot kangaroo loving in the non-fiction sectionLast year I applied for an xmas temp job at a certain book store. On the application form, along with the usual "we don't want to judge you on your ethnicity, but tell us all about it" PC bumf was a complete gem of a question:
What is your sexual preference?
Opposite sex
Same sex
Both sexes
Other (please specify)
Thinking they couldn't discriminate as sexual preference in no way effects your shelf stacking skills, I wrote marsupials. Never got that interview.
