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."

I can relate. Just yesterday I was reprimanded by my missus for calling my daughter a little cow. (She's 13 months and likes to mess with the telly, even moreso when being told not to)
My dauhter completely disregarded the insult, but picked up on her mothers scolding and my subsquent defence. Standing between us, she gave her loudest "MOOO!" yet.
I rested my case!
