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."

Fair enoughAlright, good point about what I said about muslim extremists. I take that back(ish), it wasn't very well expressed/thought through etc.
The main reason I took it so seriously was the fact that there seemed to be a fair number of people agreeing with it fairly seriously as well...
And I think that making up a story for this QOTW can be pretty dangerous, in that you could end up being one of the ones propping up twatty Daily Mail stereotypes. Bit different to making up a story about how you were wanking in an ice-cream van with headphones on then got the shits and had to wipe your arse on your mum who'd come in with a cup of tea.
Also, I was forced to learn German at GCSE... And Prince is indeed a cast-iron cunt.
Have fun at yer gig, sorry if I, uh, came on too strong. It was late and I had a headache.
