This cartoon is great example of it. Even in jest they can’t let up with the PC. In this cartoon, 2 children (still in the womb) are talking to each other. In response to a question, one answers the other “you look like a FETUS - ok?!”

“Hell, no - what are you, some kind of right wing Christian fundamentalist?!!”
“Well, no… I just.. thought…”
“There’s your whole problem – you just thought – you think this is some kind of joke?”
“Well…sorta…yeah.”
