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."

High SchoolOnce, in my Higher Computing class, our normal, african teacher was absent, and so we got a substitute teacher. Now, when I say substitute, I don't mean JUST a substitute for our normal teacher, I also mean she was substituting a large portion of the classroom.
Get it? She was (and I assume still is...) overweight. Not slightly. Not a lot. More like superhypermegaquadrouple overweight. It was like a blob with legs, arms and a head. Honestly, the fact she had the ability to walk suprised me...
But anyway. Next day, african teacher is back. The people I sat next to the previous day were absent when beach ball was taking over (literally) so they asked what we did. I replied that we got a sub. "Who?" one of them asked. "You know..." i said...beginning to do the "big" motion with my hands, outstretching them as far as I could to visually show her size. At that point, african teacher passes by, turns to me and says "Dont say it! I know what you're gonna say!" at which point my arms froze momentarily and, pushing them behind me and thursting my chest forward, somewhat unsuccessfully managed to pass my "fatty" motion as a yawn...
And he bought it!
PS :To all b3tans who thought this was going to be a black joke : SHAME ON YOU.

I thought it was going to be a joke about fat teacher having eaten African teacherand that was why the latter hadn't turned up.
