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."

Happy fucking holidaysIt's holiday time in the US. We've just had Thanksgiving and Christmas is coming up.
So is Hanukah and a newly made up holiday called Kwanza.
Because of this, we are no longer allowed to say "Happy Christmas" on the phone. It's got to be "Happy Holidays".
I counterract this by refusing to answer the phone with the usual "Happy Holidays, this is company name, how can I help you" and just say what I always say.
Hah, that showed my boss.
