Student-Parent Kissing Prank

********

This is disgusting. I want to vomit. What were they thinking?! I saw clips of this on Dr. Drew's HLN show this evening. GROSS.

I read about this earlier. I don't think I want to watch the video. Nasty bitches.

WTF? I can't believe parents agreed to this. People are just messed up.

Something similar, but only with massages, happened at a pep rally at my high school. I thought that was pretty tasteless and gross. This is super super gross. What were those parents thinking???

I know what some of the kids were thinking:

"BOOMCHICKAWOWOWWWWWW...oh shit, it's YOU, Dad?!?!?!?! What the hell?!"

What about the girl and her father on the floor tumbling around? She probably thought he was making out with some hottie. One boy described his mother's luscious lips.

At the same time, would the kids really think their school was organizing a hook up fest? At the same time, would the kids really think their school was organizing a parent-student kissing fest?

Yeah, there were pranks like this when I was in high school (class of 1991), only there was no internet at that time and no one put it on video. In addition, the parents only gave "pecks," not the cringe-worthy type kissing that occurred in the video. Totally different times now given that the internet is forever, and 100% completely inappropriate.

That's what the man on HLN said just now. A peck on the cheeks and even on the lip (I prefer cheek over lip), I can understand. But a lip fest is disgusting. They should have established rules since those parents are too dumb to figure it out without rules.

How could the parents willingly do this? Trying to seduce/trick their children into kissing passionately?

Who was on the floor (not that it matters), a boy and his mother or a girl and her father? People were pointing and laughing at them, egging them on.

What's up with the mother guiding her son's hands to her ass? And the other one stroking her son's hair?

Absolutely unacceptable. On every level. Even the "pecking" story - what is appropriate about tricking your child into thinking that he or she is kissing someone else - anyone else? I want to vomit.

Ok see I thought it was just pecks because no one would be disturbed enough to have a parent-child makeout party. But apparently I was wrong. This cements my decision not to click on the link.

i'm so confused.

the parents KNEW they were kissing their own children, but got freaky with it anyway?

not that it would be better if they thought they were kissing someone else's child, but still.

where is this place? i don't ever want to go.

Wow, there are so many things this could fall under: incest, statutory, hazing, child endangerment - for the school in loco parentis as well as the parents. I wouldn't know where to start if I was the DA, it's that sick.

I kind of hope this does not lead to disciplinary or legal action and just goes into yet another "dumb stuff people do" and "lessons of life."

Once again, Senusret sums it up the best.

^^^^
My thoughts exactly. The parents and the school administration showed a supreme error in judgement, and that's putting it pretty mildly. Gross, inappropriate, wrong.

If it was teenagers, each of the kids' boyfriend/girlfriend having a makeout session on stage in front of the school, would THAT be ok? Parents would be storming the school with pitchforks. Beyond the public humiliation being experienced by all involved, the entire school should have to take a class on decision making skills. There is no variation of this scenario that is acceptable and somebody should have had the balls to say "what? You want me to get blindfolded and kiss someone I may or may not know? Has this person been tested for disease? Will I be personally embarrassed after the fact? Is there a purpose to this little activity?" NOBODY thought to question or hesitate?

Yes.

A teen kissing a significant other is not the same as that person tonguing his/her mom or dad.

She's saying that the parents (probably some of the same ones who agreed to this) would have pitched a huge bitch about that because it would lead to OMG TEH TEENS SEX.

This is like the flip side of the Silver Ring Thing where you have a whole (expensive) dance dedicated to the fact that girls aren't having sex and are sharing that fact with their dads - who then slow dance with them. Ew.

(Speaking of Family Guy, I almost referred to this as the Opal Ring Crusade and then remembered that was the FG version.)

Exactly, 33. 'Nuf said.

In my experience, the parents of jocks in high schools were very aware of the fact that their children were (at the very least) kissing.

Also, kissing booths were not uncommon at homecoming festivities and school carnivals.

Texas =/= Minnesota

Remember, this is the state that basically puts you in stocks in the public square if you smoke a cigarette. Their priorities are a mite effed up.

And nothing says progressive like small-town Texas ;)

My point was that, unless we're talking about Salt Lake City High, I'm sure parents know that hormones run rampant in high school. Kissing significant others would not make me cringe like kissing parents did.

What does a child-parent kissing game have to do with what you all are talking about?

Regardless of different beliefs regarding teenagers kissing other teenagers, a parent-child kissing game is gross.

I did not ask where this discussion originated. I asked what it has to do with a child-parent kissing game.

DubaiSis asked if any variation of a "public kissing game" was acceptable. We commented on child-parent and child-child.

How is that not related?

Goodness gracious, knight_shadow, the world knows that you were simply responding to DuBai's question.

You replied that it is not the same thing as a parent-child (or adult-child) kissing game. That is what I am saying. The acceptability of this "kissing game" has absolutely nothing to do with whether the parents would be mad if this was a teenager-teenager kissing game.

I still don't see how you get a group of grown people to think this is OK. I would think that the suggestion might be made by one misguided creep and then everyone in earshot would then say, "Do WHAT?! Uh, no. What's wrong with you?"

It would be interesting (and probably disconcerting) to hear how they made the decision and got the buy in to have this activity at the pep rally.

I liiiiiiiiiiike the waaaaaaay

Thanks, that is now stuck in my head.

And now, it's in mine :mad:

Thanks, 33girl. The song is gross in this thread. But....

Look what you two did!!
I blanched at this as this is the name of one of my relatives.

As for this: "NOBODY thought to question or hesitate?", I'm sure that, in that moment, plenty of the blindfolded teens , experienced plenty of hesitation, tentativeness & emotions that gave them reason for pause.

As for why they agreed to participate, the reality is that assertiveness is a skill that does not come easily for some people.

Also, in the context of how it all went down, if there is a gym full of people egging you on, it would be extremely difficult to say "no" and to refuse to participate in the activity. I would say that there was a lot of social pressure to "fit in" in that moment and go along with what was requested.....

The error in judgement rests with the parents and school administration.

Same here!!
Which makes me go hmmmmm since you also don't live too far from me.
Maybe we're related and don't even know it!

Haha it wouldn't be the first time I realized I knew someone off GC IRL. As much as I talk about my relatives, I think it's best if you stay a stranger before you bust me out over Easter dinner. :o

And just when I thought I had forgotten about this, pshsx1 bumps the thread. LOL.

I have to ask: Were the parents and kids using tongue? Barf.
