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."

I use a red penwhen marking students' papers. Sod it, if they're upset by that then they're not fit to be at university.
I should also say that only one of the 18 students in the class passed my question on a particular paper last year. And he only got 10/20. So there were a lot of red crosses on the papers.
