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."

Bloody busesI ended up waiting for an hour once for a crappy bus to take me to work. Whilst waiting, I struck up a conversation with a guy called Andy, who was in a wheelchair, after he asked me for a fag. When the bus arrived, there was all the too-ing and fro-ing whilst the bus driver lowered the ramp and moved people from the wheelchair zone (a chav mum took great offence to this, daft cow) and helped Andy get settled. Pulling down the safety bar, he explained it was to stop Andy from slipping about and falling off. 'Jesus' Andy said 'I'd hate to do that, I might end up in a wheelchair!' Cue the entire bus going silent with shock whilst Andy and I pissed ourselves laughing.
God bless Andy, you're a fucking star.
