I've often told the story of an old pastor who taught that sex was a necessary evil for procreation only and that all manner of rules and conditions needed to be applied to it -he is one who no doubt agrees with this couple (and would not recognize it as satire).

The funny thing about sites like the Onion, Lark news, etc is that they can sound just close enough to reality to fool some folks. Some years ago the Gospel Tidings the Western District magazine printed a Onion article about Harry Potter.....they were totally punked on that one. The more I read the article the more it sounded like something was wrong.....and I had not even heard of the Onion back then. They ended up apologizing for their gullibility in the next issue. Lesson learned...always take this stuff with a grain of salt and check the source.
