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."

Surely incorrect
The word artist implies that the person has some level of creativity in their job. Sarnie slingers are making the sandwiches to set recipies / instructions and are surely awarded as little creative licence as possible?
