Students tricked into making out with their parents.

Incest???? This is not intercourse. It's a kiss on the mouth.

True, but maybe you guys kiss pretty tame. I use tongue and all. And to me to even think about doing that with my own mother is pretty disgusting. True, I haven't watched the video, but I'm sure it's more than just a peck on the lips.

It was far, faaaaaar more than a peck on the lips. It was 'boil-the-water-before-you-pour-it-on-your-eyes-to-cleanse-them' more than a peck on the lips.

Yeah, the woman who brought her son to the floor meant business.
 
Oh dear god. That's just horrid.

...it's hilarious though, too. Those parents are masterful trolls.

It wouldn't be so bad if it was just a kiss but... it wasn't.

:vomit:

Kind of gross but... I suppose there's some reason the parents thought the funny factor would outweigh the squick.

I don't know. Fortunately, I haven't been a victim of Minnesota's K-12 education system for nearly 10 years now. The thing about Minnesota, I think, is that we're insulated from criticism and this has led some people to falsely believe that Minnesota is somehow better than other places in the U.S.—the crazy Texas beauty pageant moms get criticized (and probably rightly so) but crazy Minnesota moms? Not so much.

Ajidica's trying to write this off as an urban-rural thing, but it's nothing to do with that. Schools in Minneapolis or St. Paul would probably pull this same stunt, but they're probably too busy oiling out the squeaks in the revolving door in the superintendents' office.
 
Americans are really messed up. I mean its funny, but for a mum or dad to want to kiss their child like that is crazy. A little kiss on the lips would have been ok but that was crazy.

I thought after watching sons of anarchy that the mum mouth kisses the son a bit much, now i realise its your whole crazy country.
 
Lighten up, it's a prank! Potentially very funny. It's not like they went off to a bedroom and had sex.

Usually the weirder the better.
 
It seems like borderline, if not outright, child abuse, to me, as a general rule (though I guess that's situation dependent; perhaps in this situation the people involved have entirely different notions of what is socially acceptable). They probably consented to kissing one of their classmates of an opposite sex. They would not have consented to snogging their parents. Abusing that idea of consent is wrong. Would it have been okay if it was a teacher they were kissing?
 
I don't know why people assume there was tongue. You can't even see their mouths in the video. I think you're all just jumping to the conclusion that you secretly want to jump to. They hardly even kiss in films, and in all those famous black & white films, they didn't even do that. They just filmed it from an angle where you couldn't see that they were just kind of mushing their faces into each other. I mean, the woman putting her son's hand on her arse - how did anyone watching the video think that was at all sexual?!

Furthermore:

Link to video.

Those poor monkeys!

They're old enough to take it as it's meant - it's not as if they're damaging young children, I mean. As I said, we did far worse to our sports captains, and I had much worse done to me on my first night out as captain of the Army team.
 
At first I was rather mortified by this, but the more I think about it, it's pretty darned funny. Sure as heck wouldn't want it played on me, but to get to point and laugh at the ones it was played on...sure :)

That's a slightly more difficult question since teachers and students are normally supposed to have a more professional relationship.

"Hahaha! They didn't have intercourse! And as we all know, all actions up to but not including intercourse are never sexual in any way. That's why it's considered good form to get to third base in broad daylight in public, because it's not literally sexual intercourse."

Considering the duration that they were making out and the positions many of them were in, it's a safe bet that there was tongue. Or, if not, that a lot of these oblivious, teenage boys with raging hormones were getting excited.

Only to later find out that it was their mother who was getting them all hot and bothered. What a breach of trust.

Kids and parents are supposed to have a less sexual relationship.
 
It wouldn't be much of a prank if everyone was consenting and nothing was shocking and surprising.

Indeed. The teachers would run into serious legal issues at that point.

Because making out with your own child is legal and the kind of relationship you're supposed to have ? :crazyeye:
Mise said:
No - the fact that it was their parents, who you know aren't going to be sexualising the kiss, is what makes it acceptable.

I'm sorry, but this opinion is built on the expectation that there is no ambiguous contact between a parent and a child, and the very reason why many people are upset about this prank is PRECISELY because this expectation holds no more.
You're trying to justify the presence of something based on its own absence, which is rather paradoxical to say the least.

And anyway, making out, feeling up and petting is maybe, strictly speaking, not having sex, but it's still far more sexualized than anything should be between member of a closely-related family - I doubt that if you would surprise your girlfriend doing such a thing with another man, you would just shrug and say "hey it's not sexual", which show how ridiculous this argument is. That's precisely what makes the joke of such poor taste.

What happened is not criminal per se, of course, but it's just revolting/repulsive considering our cultural values. Maybe some people are just not as affected by the Westermarck effect as other are, because for me the idea of such a joke is about as disturbing and icky as to make someone eat a big spider alive.
