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."

I hate people like that....
I'm a vegetarian and wouldn't dream of criticising anyone for eating meat around me.... She sounds like she's a thoroughly unpleasant woman who likes to make folks miserable.
I'd have a word with HR about the pic of the Hoff if I were you, or better still tell her that his image offends you.
Then tuck into a bacon sarnie and assert your right to be free from propaganda.
