This just can't be true. It's just too ridiculous. Insane.

    if the report said the couple were crack-addicts you wouldn't have any trouble believing it.

      If the report said they were a pair of crack-heads you wouldn't have any trouble believing it. Super-normal stimuli beats everyday life every time, people!
