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)

I miss Pretzel Flipz :(I remember some time after they were discontinued, the ice cream man who used to come into my secondary school grounds to flog sweets (can't imagine that's allowed anymore) got hold of a supply of massive bags from god knows where, and for a brief shining moment the Flipz returned to the world. Alas it wasn't to last, and other than a few out-of-date bags discovered in the shop on the bus station, their pretzelly goodness would never be tasted again. Except in the States, where the fat bastards can still buy them.
edit: amsterdam you say? my former uni housemates, being massive stoners, are trying to get me to join them on a trip there - i think you might have just given me a reason to go
