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."

Fair point pogoI should probably qualify that "that he meant what he said" bit: he said he was the son of God, he said he was the fulfilment of a bunch of prophecies in the Jewish texts (the Old Testament), he said nobody gets to heaven except through him (so not by "being good", no matter how good you are), he said everyone's done something wrong, some time, so that's why they can't earn their way to heaven, he did no wrong himself, he said he had to be tortured to death to make the way for us to live after death, he said when he died he'd be back on the third day, it all happened as he said and he said he was back alive in flesh and bones and he was.
He said a load of other stuff but that's kind of the key facts... you were right, pogo_it, I didn't quite emphasise that Easter business enough.
