It's a spoof news report--I think it's hilarious. However, I do find it disturbing that people are defending such a stance, spoof or otherwise.
I had a conversation with a relative of mine before she got married. She was joking and said, "After Saturday [the wedding day], I'm going to be a dirty girl." I knew she was only being funny, but it bothered me, and I said, "No, you'll still be pure." She contradicted me, and I said again, "You'll still be pure. Sex inside of marriage isn't dirty."
I had the same hesitation when my husband bought our daughters purity rings a few weeks ago. The standard explanation is "I will remain pure until marriage." That whole phrase irritates me. We decided to change it and if someone asks about the ring, they say, "I'm saving myself for my husband" or "I'm going to be a virgin until I'm married." I know it's a technicality, but it's a misnomer to imply that marriage makes one impure.
Sex in and of itself isn't "dirty." It's only when it's
outside the boundaries of God's laws that there's a problem. Unfortunately, there are Christians who still see sex as something "dirty", so the idea of a couple being abstinent after marriage somehow appeals to them. That's just as much outside the will of God as the people who have sex before marriage, IMO.
