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."

How can this be more offensive...
...than Tarantino et al's use of the word in films that is actually used to denigrate black people? Is that ok because we assume easily offended people won't watch Pulp Fiction? Why is it necessary to think that everyone's so fucking stupid they can't work out when something is meant offensively or not? If someone is offended by a dog's name we should go out of our way to psychologically fuck them up for their own good...
