Tonight on a very special What Were They Thinking... It gets a little serious this week as a seemingly normal jokey conversation turns to a pretty in-depth discussion on political correctness and people being offended by stuff (don't worry, it's not a conversation just making fun of 'snowflakes' or whatever the new culture wants to call them).
