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."

damn non-pc "winterval" lightswalking through glasgow with miss pirate wen she innocently starts looking at the "winterval" lights (i say winterval,we all know its christmas) wen she feels the urge to suddenly blurt out "oh my god rocknroll_pirate,that one up there looks like a huuuuuge gollywog!!" i gaze upwards and sure enough i was greeted by a festive light snowman that could definitely be described as gollywog-esque
unfortunately for us there happened to be a black couple walking in the opposite direction who then proceeded to glare rather angrily at us,dont see why really,if something looks like a gollywog it looks like a bloody gollywog and to hell with political correctness
but anyway rather than suddenly look ashamed for possibly offending someone what does my lovely girlfriend do,she laughs her head off so hard she needs to go to the bathroom
im so proud
