Political Correctness Gone Mad

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."

Anything can be said in a film, but in say a chat show, as long as it's after the watershed, almost anything can be said, with the exception of cunt and motherfucker.
There may be others, but I'm not aware of them.
