    Two thoughts:
    1) Well, this is better that their characters screwing on the show and brother and sister in real life. (ie. Jason and Justin Bateman).


    2) When it comes to family gatherings, sometimes I'm glad I'm adopted. Obvously, I'm kidding.

    Angelina Jolie and her brother made out at an awards show once. Between that and the Billy Bob blood vial I can't take her seriously no matter what she does. I'm fairly convinced she's a little bit insane.

    Donnie and Marie Osmond once played their own parents in a TV movie. They got to replay the moments that led up to their own conception.


    And everybody knows Greg Brady did his own mom.


    So from a TV history perspective, this is isn't all that weird.

    Soooooooooooooo if we don't think there is anything wrong with non fictional people who are involved in real life having fictional relationships with their real life cohorts in fictional settings....does that mean something is wrong with us or something right with us?

    (Symbolic) incest has been around in mythology for thousands of years -- e.g., eddic mythology like you see in Wagner's Ring Cycle (totally incestuous) -- while the real thing was obv strictly verboten in practice. According to CG Jung, it basically represents a cultural projection of the (incestuous) desire to find our inner "self" (i.e., a merging of the male/female). File under: psychobabble Sunday.

    What about The Royal Tenenbaums? I was lukewarm on the movie throughout, thinking, "Why do people love this movie?" Then they killed the dog and brother and (adopted, but whatever) sister got it on, and I decided I hated it.

    @theysaidwhat: Very true. Though I do always wish that somehow the Island would bring Shannon back to life. And I have a feeling others may have the same hopes for Boone.

    Can't speak on what these Hollywood STARS do, but since Rudy Giuliani married his second cousin, one he knew since childhood, the bar on this is set pretty low.

    Is no one going to say it? Come on, I know some of you guys are old enough to have yelled this at Riff Raff and Magenta during midnight showings of The Rocky Horror Picture Show. "Incest is best if you keep it in the family, relatively speaking."


    Fuck you all for making me say it.

    And on Guiding Light, there was a storyline about a guy who purposely didn't tell a girl he was his cousin, so he could deflower her in order to get revenge on his mom for abandoning him when he was a baby. But then they fell in love and she died.

    No George Michael and Maeby!? I guess there the implication of incest made it even funnier.

    I remember being totally grossed out at the end of Clueless. Step-siblings shouldn't be portrayed as having a sexual relationship. You're officially part of the same family! Ewww!

    @TruthAndTheory: Former step-siblings. His mom and her dad were divorced.


    And it's based on Emma, where the title character Emma, ends up falling in love and marrying her brother-in-law.
