I agree that the joke is harmless, if completely played out and a little insensitive but man, just because it doesn't offend *you* and you've seen worse doesn't mean that nobody will be upset by it. Pregnancy is an extremely emotional and sensitive topic for some women who have had miscarriages or are infertile and I think it's totally reasonable for them to be upset at something like this.    It's good to have a thick skin, but it's not good to discount the emotions of others, or to think you speak for them just because you happen to share a circumstance. Besides, the "April fool's pregnancy" joke isn't funny, clever, or original. Frankly, it isn't good enough of a joke to warrant its potential upsetting effect on other people.    Edit: this just in, empathy is unpopular! Wammen and their feefees, amirite?
