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.

Bwa ha ha! That's hillarious. Wrong. Sick. But hillarious.
Every year in Uganda, innumerable children simply. . . disappear. These children all stolen under the cover of darkness from their homes and impressed into the guerilla armies of the LRA [Lord's Resistance Army]. In the deserts of Uganda, they are forced to witness the mindless slaughter of other children until they themselves can do nothing but kill. Kill. These children, generally ranging from ages 5-12, are brainwashed into murdering in the name of the resistance and into stealing other children from their beds to suffer the same fate.

Because of this genocide of innocence, hundred and hundreds of children live every night sleeping in public places miles from their homes, because they know that if the do not-- they will disappear. They will become just another number in this genocide to which the international community has chosen to turn a blind eye. They will become, in affect, invisible-- Invisible Children.

But there are those who are trying to fight against this slaughter of Uganda's children. They fight to protect these "invisible children." Please, help them help a country full of children who know nothing by fear. Help save the innocence. For more information concerning how you can help and how you can get an incredible video about this horrific reality, visit the Invisible Children home page.

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.

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...

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.

...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.

Heart of Sword's Rhapsody

Money, get away
Get a good job with good pay and you're okay
And all and all you're just another brick in the wall
Shoutin’ in the street gonna take on the world some day
But Bismallah will not let me go
Because I'll see you on the dark side of the moon

Tommy used to work on the docks
Union's been on strike
Bright eyes burning like fire
And exposing every weakness
However carefully hidden by the kids

Who will love a little Sparrow
Who's traveled far and cries for rest
Spare him his life from this monstrosity

I've seen a million faces and I've rocked them all
And if the band youre in starts playing different tunes
We will we will rock you
We will we will rock you!
