Harold and Maude weren’t related, though, were they?
Yeah – it could bring on the All You Zombies Apocalypse! 
The guy must really dig the hot, dry sex.
NItpick: “Grandma’s chicken salad.” Somehow that sounds even worse in this case. :barfie:

Ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww
Kyla, there are a lot of ‘Britishisms’ throughout- the use of ‘s’ instead of z, the phrase ‘fell pregnant,’ ‘mum’ instead of mom… odd indeed (though not the oddest thing about the story, certainly…).
That second photo looks fake.
It seems to be a New Zealand site, but the reference to Indiana has me a little confused. Would people in NZ be expected to be so familiar with Indiana that the fact that it’s in the U.S. doesn’t even need to be mentioned? Somehow I doubt it.
Aw! H & M is a lovely story! Still…the priest’s reaction was priceless. 
Pretty sure the OP story is a fake. Surely a post-menopausal body can’t restart a womb?
Oh god - that is worse!!
Hey, I posted this thread and I’m not even sure it’s real. The more I look at it(I can’t look away), the faker I feel it is.
Please be fake.
He can’t get a sheep so he has to fuck his grandmother? Is there some kind of sheep shortage down under?
I just threw up a little in my mouth. Ugh. This is worse than Flowers in the Attic.
What, you think people abroad haven’t heard of Indianapolis? We sure have.
One of my graduate school exams (on Quantum Chemistry) had an extra credit question: fill-in-the-names on a hand-drawn blank map of the 48 contiguous states. The teacher thought he’d get a laugh out of his 100% foreign student body.
We got between 30 and 40 states right, more than he did; we had problems with “the square places”. All of us got Connecticut, Rhode Island, Delaware and Maryland right despite none of them being shown on the map (apparently Mr I’m So Smart had gotten tired and figured we wouldn’t know such tiny places existed anyway). We were in Florida and none of us had studied US geography (in or outside of a class context), our geographical knowledge came simply from watching too many American TV shows and movies.
It’s a surrogate using a donor egg.
So it’s not really an incestuous child.
Fun side note: Their relationship is not counted as incest under the law of Ireland - it is legal.
I’ll be that person. So long as it is a relationship that started in adulthood and both sides are truly consenting, it shouldn’t matter to them what society thinks (though I too have doubts about the reality of the story).
Now, I wouldn’t want to have at it with any of my grandparents but it doesn’t bother me if someone else does (with theirs or mine). I’m more bothered by the ethical questions around bringing a child into the world (however they’re doing it) at age 72 than incest.
For the proper effect, mix that with a faint hint of Polident.
Looks like they missed April Fools’ Day by a few weeks. I don’t buy this for a minute.
I noticed that too. Apparently, it’s because the story was first reported by a tabloid in NZ - hence all the very non-US terms like “brilliant” and “mum”.
That said, why would a pair of backwater hicks in Indiana contact a tabloid halfway around the world that no one in the US has even heard of if they were going to share their story of forbidden love, rather than one of the dozens US-based tabloids they see at the supermarket checkout line each day?
Something smells a little fishy here, and it ain’t grandma’s chicken salad.
Because the story is too shocking for The National Enquirer … or Oprah?
hurk
“Say, Billy Bob, what’s that on your moustache?”
“Hm? Oh, I just been eatin’ grandma’s chicken salad.”
Yeah, but nothing (and really, I do mean NOTHING) is too trashy for Jerry Springer.
Though I think this one might be better suited to Maury Povich. He does love him some DNA tests.
