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."

Lesbian's...I work in a Very Large chain of nightclubs, and about six months ago we employed a lesbian called "Tracy"* (lets call her that).
Within 4 weeks of joining she kept on touching the other female staff, giving free drinks to the ladies (we lost a lot of stock, and customers) we also had the violent mood-swings, it was a complete mistake to employ her.
When she was caught on CCTV actually giving away 16 drinks in 15 minutes, my boss finally lost it and sacked her for gross misconduct.
She is now suing the company for harrassment due to her sexuality. Now I am a Gay, and last week spent 5 hours explaining to a tribunial how she wasn't sacked for clam-licking, but for being a theif.
Forget the PC thing - I ended up getting two days off (paid) expenses paid because the tribunial was 120 miles away, so a new mobile phone has to be put down as expensives...
ME LUV PC for this...
