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."

Infuriating PCnessI know a lot of "fair trade" liberalistas. Many are dear dear friends of mine, but they're all very similar. They faint in the presence of Starbucks and McDonalds, despite they're decent employers by all accounts, prefering the services of the "small employer" regardless of if its the local gangster who pays sub minimum wage and sexually assaults his staff, in order to support their local economies. They're "vegetarians" who eat tuna like it's going out of fashion. They make a big point about not shopping at ASDA and Tesco, and tut when you do.
And they all, without exception, snort HORRENDOUS amounts of finest Bolivian cocaine.
I'll negotiate with the gun cartels for access rights, unionisation and employee pension schemes, one of you approach Dragon's Den for funding to begin our Fairtrade Beak and we're rich! I know a steady stream of customers.
