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."

Married to the Anti-Christmy evil wife (who's black) has a habit of pissing people off in public by deliberately behaving very un-PC - her "sense of humour" includes asking me, when we're in a crowded public space together, favourite lines such as;
"did you just call me a n*gger?"
(one day I hope to travel on a bus in Brixton with her just for the shear adrenaline rush )

Last week my father in lawsiddled up to my wife in the supermarket and proceeded to chat her up. They left the deli counter hand in hand. Apparantly the ladies behind the counter were passed themselves.
Since then I always get served first, with the upmost care and attention. They've rounded the weight down, given me the odd extra sausage etc.
I'm playing the waste card.
