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."

A friend told me ...that his friend, an animator, had to do an animation of two children jumping up and down on a couch wildly in excitement for an advert.
He was told the children could not jump up and down, as this was seen as dangerous and might influence children to do the same, so he had to change it so the children were merely standing on the couch, whilst wildly flailing their arms and body round in excitement.
