Political Correctness Gone Mad

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."

Darwin WAS a christian.
....And he even had a little nagging doubt about his theory of Evolution based around the "perfection" of the eye.
He figured that it was too good to be an accident: he thought it was perfect. Since his death it has been discovered that the eye is in no way perfect... thus posthumously laying to rest his only doubt regarding his own theory.
The "Intelligent Design" bunch who insist that bananas are perfectly shaped for the human hand due to a greater being designing it all are basicly echoing Darwin's self doubt, but with a slightly less complex article. Carrots are also a well designed shape for anal insertion.. As are Cucumbers for vaginal.. Intelligent Design? Hmmm... probably not.
