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)

In the US of Awhere free speech is constitutionally protected (unlike here) I walked past a woman calling a police officer every motherfucker under the sun. The cop was doing his best to remain calm, but at no point did he attempt to arrest her for swearing.
Free speech means exactly that. If the left can have their say, so can the right. I personally find it distateful that Griffin can speak in public, but if he's not allowed to say what he thinks because some people find it distateful then there's no telling where the line eventuallly gets drawn.
