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."

In secondary school, a girl got all high-and-mighty at me for taking the piss out of my Down's brother.
He's my brother; I'll be the judge of what I can say about him, thank you very much. I know he'd crack mong jokes himself if only he were able to understand them.
