People have been saying "it's too PC nowadays" for decades now. I think you just tailor your word choice to your company. My friends and I swear like sailors and no topic is off-limits for jokes, but I also realize that in other situations - such as at work - telling a joke about a humorous sexual encounter between a donkey and a drunk man to my boss might not be appropriate. Basically I choose my words based on whether or not I think those words will impede the point of the conversation. And I don't really mind doing that.
