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."
How has PC affected you? (Please add your own tales - not five-year-old news stories cut-and-pasted from other websites)

This only strengthens my argument....
...that all old people are empty shells of bitterness, filled only with the aroma of mothballs and cheap talcumn powder.
If PC is justified then fair enough; in that case surely as there were only 2 complaints about it it would've made common sense to contact the two and explain the positive feedback you'd received. There again, I did use the word common sense.
Tis always the fuckwits who ruin the fun for others...
