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."

ShoppingI used to work for a well known swedish clothing company up until last year and we got hammered for having the larger sizes of clothes (size 16 upwards, xxl to xxxxl) away from the more common sizes which where/are on the ground floor, the larger sizes where/are on the first floor.
Some lazy fucker complained to all the alleged right channels that they had to walk upstairs and we got bollocked for making them walk further to get what they wanted, now to a point I can understand I guess but to to make matters worse we didnt have a staircase we only had a lift and two escaltors so its not as though they had to exert themselves that much to get up stairs, it was either a case of one step or one step and push a button.

Overheard in high street store...to the shop assistant..."You shouldn't divide clothes up by size on the racks, it makes it too obvious what size I need to buy" from a customer handing over a size 22 skirt. Like nobody was going to notice otherwise.....

I have an idea...What you really wanted to do was to build an obstacle infested maze that resets every 10 minutes in between the normal sizes and the fatty clothes. That way they'd spend so long exercising instead of complaining that they wouldn't need the "i can't wipe my own arse" sizes

KetzerIt would reset every 1000 seconds surely. We're metric now.
