Political Correctness Gone Mad
Freddy 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."

Reminds of Borat
When he's attending the dinner with some American hosts. 'What do you do'? he askes one elderly gent. 'I'm retiirred' comes the reply.
'You are retard'? counters Borat, as the bloke tries to explained that he no longer worked, and wasn't, in fact, lacking in mental faculty.
Brilliant movie, and so, so wrong in so many places. Love it.
