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

John Anon PrinceThere is a link between being exposed to second-hand smoke ON A REGULAR BASIS and developing lung cancer. That's all it is - a link. And you would need to be exposed to a lot of it (ie. working in a pub for a long time) for it to be a possibility.
Inhaling someone's fag smoke as you walk past them in the street will do you no harm whatsoever. However, if you walk, drive or cycle to work along a busy, congested road EVERY DAY, then that is much more likely to do you harm.
