Question Author
whilst i too think its nonsense - hence why i asked the question, i am amused by the number indignant and outraged responses from people who appear to be incredulous that such as story would even be told - since its so obviously and clearly too crazy to be true and are utterly convinced its fake...just because it 'sounds' wrong... because of course nothing weird or unbelievable ever happens does it?
people are NOT at all weird, sick, twisted, evil, stupid, etc etc ever, and they NEVER EVER do abhorrent, cruel and strange things to others, and the news is NOT constantly full of stories that sicken us and make us wonder at the state of the world...
actually when you look at it like that - comparing it to some of the truly reprehensible and unbelievable things that happen in the world - it not only seems fairly possible and plausable, its actually seems quite tame...haha
