Twins unknowingly marry one another

Posted: 1/11/08 at 3:11pm

LONDON, England (CNN) -- British twins who had been separated at birth learned they were related only after they had become husband and wife, a senior British lawmaker said. The marriage has been annulled.
God, I hope the marriage wasn't consummated.

Ewww.

AND:

O.J. Simpson is in custody in Florida and faces allegations he violated his bail, a court official says, according to The Associated Press.

Oh my!

There was a thread, which seems to have been deleted, about Gay Incest a while back. I find it no less skeevy than straight incest.

"I find it no less skeevy than straight incest."

Neither do I! Why would that even be an issue of contention? It's INCEST.

That's what I'm saying, but you'd be surprised at how many people came out in favor of it in the gay thread.

Infinitesimally less skeevy by virtue of not creating children with birth defects. Unequivocally skeevy, though.

I just think it's pointless to turn this thread into an excuse to shame people's moral codes when this case has absolutely nothing to do with a gay vs straight incest debate.

This is a sad story. Knowing that they probably feel incredibly shameful, though they didn't knowingly do anything wrong.

Oh, Craaw, you'd counter me even if I said the sky was blue, but your wisdom is noted. I'll make a point from now on not to reference any other threads on thread I think you might stick your head in.

They were probably attracted to each other like magnets.


Isn't that what happens after they get separated?

I can't argue you on the sky, but I can note that it's double-w and not double-a. re: Twins unknowingly marry one another

I wonder if they finished eachother's -

Craww, if I came across as trying to shame your moral code, I wasn't. It's just that I think it's dangerous to say things like it would be "less skeevy" if it were gay incest, because it's inferring that homosexuality is abberant anyway, so by association the behavior is more acceptable. I mean, how many times have the family values people lumped in homosexuality with pedophilia, incest, etc?

It doesn't mention how they found out they were related.

Well, it's not specifically my moral code, I don't really remember the previous thread that was mentioned. I wasn't really upset over what you'd said, or even the assertion itself, so much as PRS bringing it up randomly to assert a little moral superiority over some of the posters here.

Your point is completely valid. That wasn't really the perspective I was viewing it from.

Bringing up something that's similar to the topic at hand isn't random at all. It's kind of the opposite of random.

It's only similar to the topic at hand in BroadwayWorld land, where everyone has some sort of unresolved issue involving some old forgotten thread.

See, for example, my unresolved issue with finding everything you say intrinsically annoying. re: Twins unknowingly marry one another

That's it. Alton doesn't name the people, he doesn't name the high court judge involved in their subsequent divorce, he doesn't give a timeframe when this happened. He's also a politician pushing a pet issue through a lawmaking body of government.

Politicians lie to get laws passed, folks. Yes shocking I know. This "news" story is complete crap.

Judging from the article CNN ran, the big media folks think so too. CNN's article pins all the details on the UK Press Association. The CNN article in it's distilled basic form is: "UK Press Association says stuff." The UK Press Association's information, distilled to basic form, is: "David Alton says stuff." Both articles are therefore factually correct, these things were said. It's a hedge used often by media companies use to get around taking blame later on for accidentally reporting unsubstantiated facts as news. You see it fairly often in gossip articles, quoting unnamed sources for juicy celebrity details.

I have yet to see any article about these supposed married twins that did any fact checking to see if there was any truth to this story. No one bothered. Why? Because it's sensational. Brother and Sister Hardcore Action. It's a top story on every major international news outlet today.
