*In the Extended Cut, too controversial to say on TV, Stewie outlaws sexual intercourse, saying anyone who is caught having sex will be executed. The scene immediately cuts to [[SexGod Quagmire]] who has clearly [[SanitySlippage lost his mind with panic]] and is [[MadnessMantra making hundreds of paper cranes to take his mind off of sexual intercourse.]]
