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."

The most interesting thing about this tale
is that you can lose you licence for failing emissions tests? I'm assuming you're not UK based which I why I ask.
Also racism... blah blah blah... people seem to play racism cards if they get in trouble with the police, which is almost like a get out of jail card now. Boo and hiss to PC I say.
