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."

Fire- the Biblical cleanser!My girlfriend's sister-in-law teaches at a very famous wimmyn's college and is a tenured prof. She once tried to lecture a guy on the subject of the Iraq war, as she had talked to numerous people who had been in Iraq. He responded far more politely than I would have had I been him, as he had just gotten back from a tour of duty over there.
I'm just waiting for her to lecture me about something. As I have an older sister who's a lot like her, I'm primed.
