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."

LandminesBobFossil reminds me: in the mid 1990s, when BSE was doing its thing, the Cambodian government offered to take all those cows that were going to be slaughtered anyway so that they could be set "free" on a minefield. The proposal was vetoed on the basis that it would be cruel.
Whereas feeding them ground up bits of their relatives' brains, and killing them if the cow next to them happened to grind its teeth is perfectly OK.
A mad world, my masters.
