By DANIEL SELIGMAN REPORTER ASSOCIATE Patty de Llosa

(FORTUNE Magazine) – Political correctness has bounded into the advertising world, bedeviling the lives of ad agency ((creative people)) . . . ''It's probably at an all-time high,'' says Larry Postaer, creative director of Rubin Postaer & Associates in Los Angeles . . . Many believe the concern that someone, somewhere will be offended has become a detriment to promoting the product . . . Some advertisers -- American Honda Co. among them -- have made it a deliberate strategy not to show people if possible, to reduce the chance that they might misrepresent segments of the population that could object to stereotyping. -- From an article in Adweek's Marketing Week.
