Minnesota Incest Prank

[anony mouse.]

Minnesota's Rosemount High had an awesome idea for a prank at this year's winter pep rally. Just awesome: blindfold all the sports captains and have them make out with people. And the "prank" part is that they're making out with their parents. Who aren't blindfolded.

Oh my god. I actually almost threw up.

[MichWolverineFreak]

Oh man... Id kill myself.
Jesus thats disgusting! What horrible parents! I agree... Im faking sick tomorrow.

Well, there's a couple things to consider before jumping on the "INCEST!" wagon. First off, we are always children to our parents regardless of our ages. Our parents are the people who changed our diapers, put our clothes on, tied our shoes, took us to the doctor...they have done everything in their power to raise us. Hell, my mom has seen me nude even when I was like 11-12 years old. If a mother is willing to literally wipe shit off your ass, then a mother/father would be willing to "make out" (which didn't even look like making out to me) with their kids as a joke. When the people are blindfolded, they don't know what is going on. If a parent is willing to kiss their own kid in front of a large audience that is laughing at them, then they understand their actions; however, a father making out with a daughter in a casual occasion is a different story. Learn to take a joke people. It's kissing...not oral sex.

This is disgusting. It's things like this that make me lose faith in the human race.

Dude. It's wrong. There is no "OH LOL IT WAS JUST A JOKE". It was disgusting. plain and simple. nothing even Remotely good about it.

If that happened to me I'd be suing everyone I could. Fucking disgusting.

[TheNumber42]

Lol I was like lol



Seriously, lol'd hard at this.

[The Goblins Blade]

Its taken me ten minutes to stop laughing, oh god that was fucking funny. Anyway, yeah incest is pretty bad.

That's the joke? The fact that it's disgusting is the reason why people laughed? You are aware that jokes can be disgustingly funny, right? Also, I never said it was good. It's not the most socially acceptable joke, but it's not near as bad as people think it is, in my opinion.

[Silhouette]

Well I still think it probably violated the kids a bit. I know I wouldn't want to make out with my parents, and I would be really upset if I found out that they did that too me. Sure, jokes can be awful and disgusting, but there is a point where it crosses the line.

[JKmadu619]

Honestly, any person willing to kiss another random person probably doesn't care who they're kissing... if you were willing to kiss anyone at all, I don't think you would be violated if it were your parents. Your parents saw you naked, they've cleaned crap off your ass. It's only kissing, it's not like they're molesting their kid, which sadly happens quite often. I wouldn't participate and think it was a stupid/lazy joke but I don't see the outrage over it.

- Justin

[BDF]

I've seen worse things. Causing outrage over this seems disproportionate. Personally, if I knew what was being done to me, I'd rather wire my mouth shut with barbed wire than make out with my...

fuck.

I'm OUTA here. I need some vodka now to distract me.

[Heavenly Bliss]

The people laughing at this are anxious. They don't actually find this funny. Just saying, a little psychological advice from psychology. And I'm totally quoting my counsellor, I laughed because someone hurt themselves, but I didn't actually find it funny, and she explained that I was anxious.

I have mixed feelings about this, I find this incredibly disgusting and manipulative. At the same time, though, they didn't know who they'd be kissing! I would be less disgusted if it were their cousin or sibling, because that's amusing to place cousins/siblings in awkward positions. But fillial relations? No fucking way. Just no.

[Snufkin]

Seems like a bit of an OTT prank to have students make out with people in general. Contradicts the other threads you see around here about students getting banned for giving one another hugs or whatever. The parent part makes it worse, but I can't imagine ever wanting to take part in a blindfolding game with people I don't trust.

[Skeleton]

I think that's really disgusting. Yes, my parents bought me up, saw me naked, changed my nappies etc. but I doubt at any point in my life I'd have wanted to make out with them, there is a line..

[Kol]

Is that even legal

[Heavenly Bliss]

It would be considered rape in some areas. It varies by the fine print within different jurisdictions.

Some places count kissing as a sexual activity, so that would fall under the category statutory rape.

[bitesize]

That's...like..why?? what?? Can't even get my head around this....why were their parents so into the idea?? :/

[Disappearing]

That is just disgusting to me, especially since their parents all knew. Why would you want to do that ever? I just don't understand at all. It's just sickening and I don't see how anything related to incest could be funny.

[ShadowDancing]

Okay. Alright. Not gagging or anything...
That is disgusting. Seriously. If that was me, I. Omg. I am so grossed out. Blegh.

[Haruhi]

WTF.

This is disgusting. What parent would wanna make out with there kids?

[dr2005]

Irrespective of whether you consider that incest or not, or a prank, that's a pretty fucked-up thing to be doing with your children or anyone else their age. It's definitely a pretty fucked-up thing for a school to be organising and I would be surprised if the principal (who, from other reports, seems to actually be defending it as much as apologising) is still in his job this time next year.

[Squidgy]

Christ. I think I'd just about die of embarrassment. I don't think I'd be able to talk to my parents again after that, Disgusting.

[Jennifer]

That's just a bit wrong...er truamatizing.

[Fabrication]

It may of been a joke to the parents but to the kids, it humiliated them. Not the best prank I've seen, but defiantly the sickest.

[Briana]

My senior year of high school, we blindfolded the seniors on the football team, and the senior cheerleaders kissed the guys, but when they took the blindfolds off their moms would be standing in front of them, not the cheerleaders.

It's really not a big deal. Not sure why people are making it one. Not like anyone died or the parents had sex with the kids.

[BECCALICIOUS!]

I don't understand how people are saying that this is okay. Did the captains even consent to kissing anyone in the first place?

The whole parent-child thing. Yeah, it's not sex, molestation, whatever you want to call it. But if you were in that position to find out you made out with your mom/dad, how would you feel? Yeah, they changed your diapers at one point but how many of you guys walk around the house naked now that you're older? How many of you are still that intimate with your parents? And even though they are your parents, is that appropriate -- not just on a sexual level, but perhaps an emotional level of sorts -- to have a relationship like that?

[Ashes2493]

That video made me a little bit ashamed to be from Minnesota..... just saying. That's just gross. I don't care if my dad wiped my butt or changed my diapers as a kid. That crosses every line imaginable.

There is a difference between making someone look as if they've kissed their parents full-on and making someone actually kiss their parents full-on. The former is embarrassing but potentially amusing, the latter is pretty gross - particularly if, as one mother did in the video, you make your own child grab your ass. That enters the realm of sexual intimacy, and in this case that is bordering on incest and that is why people are less than impressed with this.

I totally agree with you.
How it is possible that this many were ok with making out with their kids? That's so far disgusting, I’m glad my parents would use some common sense and not prank me like that.

Yup, every single line imaginable...

You know, aside from molestation, abandonment, violence, emotional abuse/trauma...

[Sythan]

They wiped my ass when I was a baby, when I couldn't take care of myself. That's not a allowance for making out with my mother when I'm in high school, in front of everyone. That's disgusting.

[Invert]

A school to organise blind-folded, almost compulsory kissing of any kind, is wrong. Not going to argue that. And I personally would hate to have found out that I've kissed my parents, because it is icky. At the same time, it's only going to be humiliating to an extent in that school, as the whole school are in on it, and they are the popular kids. Their lives are not going to be ruined, and within a short amount of time they'll be over it.

So yes, not appropriate, but not the end of the world.

And I wouldn't really use the word incest to describe this. That is overreacting. Such as the following posts are overreacting:

Rape is generally defined as penetrative sex. One could count kissing as sexual assault/harrassment, but not rape. Rape is an implication of sex, these people weren't even heavy petting. Again right or wrong it wasn't sex.

Some places count kissing as a sexual activity, so that would fall under the category statutory rape.

Looking on the internet, there isn't really such things as statutory kissing. Its like dating. Pretty much legal at any age. Also, these people are seniors, aren't they? The age of consent there is 16, so I'm sure they are above that, and its kissing.

I got the impression she was actually taking his hand off her ass, on to her side. Teens have wondering hands.

Also, is it just me, but surely you know how your parents smell? And for the girls, weren't they confused about the facial hair?

So yes, in conclusion, I feel bad for those kids, I wouldn't want it to happen to me. I don't know what the school was thinking. But life will go on.

Its not like the parents were being abusive. So the main moral issue with parents-child incest isn't even present. The only thing present is our general cringe factor.

I don't think you're understanding the point I'm trying to make about the relationship between parents and children. Let me reiterate the point I made about parents considering you a child. Your parent(s) most likely consider you "their child" even though you may be a teenager. If they had to, your parent(s) would still wipe your ass. Some parents still do. My uncle had security cameras installed in all his rooms in the house (including bathrooms) because his daughter had a condition that would result in her having spasm attacks. No, you don't want to watch your daughter take a shower or use the restroom, but a parent is willing to go beyond the social norms by taking care of the ones they love. If you don't need help doing something, a parent isn't going to help you. But if you do, even if it's not socially acceptable, they might just help you...whether it's helping you take a shower at 17 years old or whatever. If a parent consents to helping play a practical joke on his/her son/daughter by "making out" with them in front of an audience, then that isn't anything compared to what they HAVE done in the past. You know what would be worse? What if you had a daughter and you found out that they were playing a practical joke and the PRINCIPAL kissed her? But if you were to kiss your daughter (which you probably will do at some point during your parenthood), then the issue would be between your daughter and you...not an issue with the school, or anything else. It's not a big issue because the parents were the ones...not school officials.

I don't understand where you get the idea that we ARE saying it's okay. Just because we say it's not a big deal doesn't mean that it's nothing. We are saying it's a slight situation, that's understandable, but it's nothing serious.

I'd feel the same way I felt when I first saw my mom naked for the first time...I was mortified. 8 years later, however, I can look back and laugh about how I felt because my mom is my mom...if she were to make out with me when I'd be blind-folded, I essentially set myself up because I would never kiss someone without knowing who I'm kissing. Not knowing who I'd kiss is setting someone up for a...dare I say it...practical joke.

We grow up, but that doesn't mean that our parents still wouldn't provide support if, for some reason, we had to walk around naked.

Why? Just from one incident that you think that "crosses every line imaginable," you feel ashamed to be from Minnesota? Don't point the finger at the general population when it was only a select few individuals who gave the consent. Like they say, you can lead a mule to water, but you can't force it to drink.

[Sythan]

Of course I'm going to kiss my child, I'm not going to make out with them. Helping your child , sure. As with your uncle it's perfectly understandable. Her health was at risk if he didn't do it. However to pull a practical joke by have a mother make out with her son, or father make out with his daughter, and we're not talking about a simple peck on the cheek, it's real making out. That I find disgusting. That's not going above social norms to take care of someone. That doesn't help them in any way.

Just watched the video again, and she is definitely moving his hand down as opposed to up. Look at it again yourself if you don't believe me.
