Bad Romance: Grandma/Grandson Edition

So there's been this article flying about the Internet recently about this grandmother/grandson duo in Indiana who have sought out a surrogate mother to carry their lovechild. As a disclaimer, the article has been removed from its original website, perhaps indicating that the whole thing is a hoax--which makes it all that much more disturbing.

Apparently grandma had a daughter but gave her up for adoption. Years down the line, the daughter had a son, who eventually tracked grandma down once said daughter/mother passed away. When he sent his 72-year-old grandmother a photo of his 27-year-old self, her first reaction was quite natural: "I thought what a handsome and sexy man." Obviously. So then the two met, at first just hanging out, doing standard grandma/grandson things like bowling, shopping, and eating out. Ew, considering the next part of the story, which needs to be a direct quote from grandma, who couldn't hide her feelings anymore:

"'I called Phil into my bedroom, sat him on the bed, and then I leant over and kissed him,' Pearl says.

'I expected rejection but instead he kissed me back.'..."

Sound the incest alarm! Since then, they've carried on as lovers, moving in together and banging three times a week.

Look, dude, we understand that you're apparently some loser who may have self-esteem issues which give you zero game with the ladies. But your GRANDMOTHER? REALLY? Life is that bad?

Maybe we should be happy that two souls found each other and feel a connection like they've never felt before. Maybe it's not so bad since they never even knew each other until now--it's almost like they're just two people randomly meeting on a bus or on an online dating site. Maybe it's okay because they're adults and adults can do what they want.

Maybe not. We're going to go puke now.
