Yeah...I'd say this is an example of online dating going horribly wrong. Ew is right.

Although... you have to consider that this is all a product of sin more than anything else:

The woman was willing to cheat on her husband. The man was clearly looking for sexual involvement. They had some "racey" conversations online.

Seems like their sinfulness has come back to bite them both. The guy I really feel sorry for is the father/husband.

Yea, he must feel so betrayed. I thought it was tacky how they flippantly said he was "ticked for a while"... I'd be heartbroken... but whatever.

I am glad you pointed that out MSP. I was unable to see the article myself, I was simply going on peoples comments. Weekly world news has some interesting storys sometimes...

Ha! No. I missed that. Ah well. The sad thing is that it is something which could possibly happen. I mean, it's hardly unbelievable.

well, the report DID seem a bit un professional..speaking from a journalistic point of view..

Even if it wasn't real, it certainly could happen. Teehee. Never liked the idea of online dating anyway.

For those who can't read the article, basically it's about...

[spoiler= Don't even know why I'm spoilering it] a son who unknowingly cyber-dated his own mum [/spoiler]

While most of Weekly World News' stories are fake, they do print a few real ones from time to time. I know this because I've seen them in the past reprint stories that originally came from reliable sources such as CNN. So, there is a small chance the story could be true. But either way, the idea is gross, and highly amusing.

So all that stuff about the aliens and Britney Spears wasn't true?

No it wasn't Hisai...Neither the article about vampire butterflies (I'm not even joking about that article.)

...vampire butterflies? :lol: That's fantastic!

I agree with Mave - whether the article is real or not; it is possible, if not likely. Perhaps that's why we find it so shocking/amusing; with the anonymity of the internet it has the potential happen to us should we find ourselves doing internet dating.

That is really funny, though. :)

I love looking at the headlines for that magazine...They come up with some of the funniest things...Like stories about Hillary Clinton have a love child with an alien or a dog headed boy who got sent to the pound for biting people.

Just a note to make me even more unpopular. Please do not let this thread become what our last online CAA dating thread became. Thank you, come again.
