to think this isn't actually that sick?

HERE

Yes it is the 'daily fail' but I actually saw this elsewhere and it seems to be big news. I just think it is only weird if you choose to look at this as more than it actually was. It was a prank and yes there is kissing, but I kiss my DD on the lips all the time, that doesn't mean I am being incestuous, she is my child.

Or am I not seeing something important here? Confused

One parent-child pair even moves to the gym floor, rolling around on top of one another.

In another moment of inappropriate passion, a mother moves her son?s hand south so far he appears to grab her rear.

These were teens, blindfolded and not realising they were in a clinch (not just a peck on the lips) with one of their parents... to me, that is very disturbing.

It's stupid and poorly thought out.
And slightly weird.
A man would have thought this stunt up :)

I don't know if 'sick' is the right word but it was definitely wrong and humiliating I think.

ButWhyIsTheGinGone · 17/12/2011 00:44

OP if you think you kiss your baby in the same way these kids has to kiss their parents in this hilarious stunt then you're a naive twat.

WorraLiberty · 17/12/2011 00:45

Are you always that sexist xyfactor?

Would you still not think it was sick if you were asked to take part in such an event with your DD? Would you do it? Some of those featured were groping as well. Can't believe that someone thought that would be a good idea Confused

LineRunnerCrouchingReindeer · 17/12/2011 00:48

Creepy.

WorraLiberty · 17/12/2011 00:48

Mind you, what sort of parent would roll around on the floor snogging their senior school child?....that actually is sick Confused

ButWhyIsTheGinGone · 17/12/2011 00:48

Worra I don't "know" you on here, so to speak, but from what I've seen of your posts I'm surprised you disagree with the "sick" element.
Maybe it's just me, but getting people to kiss intimately with their own mothers seems deeply sick to me. Obviously if you agree to kiss people with your eyes shut you tak a certain gamble, but I think this outcome is just disgusting!
Please someone tell me they agree?!?!

ButWhyIsTheGinGone · 17/12/2011 00:49

Ah X posts!

LDNmummy · 17/12/2011 00:49

'naive twat' Hmm

What I mean is that I doubt the parents were getting sexual kicks out of it. It was a prank, and so what if someone were to kiss their own child in that manner, they created the child and the child is an extension of themselves. So long as there is no sexual intent behind it, I don't think it is as sick as it is being described as. People are acting like this was actual incest.

Of course it was silly an humiliating for the teens and very stupid, but surely not sick and incestuous like some are saying.

WorraLiberty did you miss the smile?

Anyway,am off to bed now. Night all

Reading back my comment did look bad Blush
I had a vino a go go moment :)

LDNmummy · 17/12/2011 00:52

I wouldn't do it myself as it just seems so bloody humiliating for the teenager.

OP posts:
Liluri · 17/12/2011 00:52

Stupid prank that ends up looking cringeworthy and desperate.
I expect the fact that it is on youtube to be watched, dissected and castigated ad nauseum doesn't really help all concerned consign it to the wastebasket of their memories.

WorraLiberty · 17/12/2011 00:52

Gin I read it again and yes it's totally sick Xmas Sad

I mean it's not like it was a 'parental' peck on the lips

I can't believe a school would pull this stunt to be honest!

That really sounds so wrong... it may have been a prank, but what parent in their right minds would want to actually snog, and lets be honest, thats what it was, not a chaste kiss.... with their almost adult offspring. It is a world away from kissing your baby or toddler.

WorraLiberty · 17/12/2011 00:53

xyfactor Sorry, I've had a few medicinals tonight also Xmas Blush

xyfactor · 17/12/2011 00:54

I bet i've had more :)
Just dreading that 4th step that creaks like my joints on the way up.

I suppose what I mean is that things like this only carry the weight of the meaning that you choose to apply to them IYSWIM. I do think it was Shock, but I doubt the parents were getting sexual kicks from it so it is hardly incestuous and sick, just more ill thought out and humiliating. The groping and rolling seems to be more for comic effect than anything else, a sort of over the line piss take. It doesn't look like a 'heated session' (sorry but didn't know how else do describe that).

No no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no

The intent is NOT the only factor here - the act in itself is fucking sick. Watch the video, read the article then tell me if you'd kiss your own daughter like that.

Its one of the silliest things I have ever seen.

LineRunnerCrouchingReindeer · 17/12/2011 01:07

If I did that to either of my teenage DCs I hope they'd have me locked up.
