Not sure if that's what the satire tag is for, but that's not what the linked article said at all. /shrug |

That was a weird article. The demographic was heavily biased to one religious group. It seems reporters are not going out past their neighborhoods or dorm rooms or wherever they got this story. |

Evidently you missed the part that HCT was making a joke that the guys girlfriend bought a leather whip. Which in theory would be more embarrassing that buying leather winter gloves.
So imagine if her mom was a Facebook "friend", and saw that her daughter bought a leather cat-o-nine tails or more ot the point, he saw his girlfriend bought the same object and that ended the relationship.
It's humor...hence the satire tag, and why you won't find any of it in the article. It's an humorous extrapolation of an actual incident with the facts and end results changed to enhance the story. |
