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."

ohh I just remembered a great anecdote....I was walking somewhere with my girlfriend when we were passed by a large group of blind people. For some reason she was staring at them wierdly (I think she was just curious as to why there were so many blind people walking around together) so I whispered "It's rude to stare". She replied, very loudly "Why? Its not like they can see us!?"
Oh god, I cringed as twenty odd blind folk all turn to stare unseeingly at us wondering why we were talking about them.
