Switch off the internet now.

This incident has been mentioned in the weddings forum
An English couple had themselves photographed in front of a Greek church (where they had just been married) carrying out a sex act, and posted it on Facebook. Apparently they are quite chuffed at the feedback they've received.

Now the Greek Orthodox bishop has banned all foreign weddings.

Now I don't know but has the time come to just disable the internet and go back to those halcyon days of yore. Just think. No more tweets, no more Isis youtub videos etc etc.

Feckin' Greeks. They invented gayness.

They sound like a real class act.

The Daily Fail has (of course) more graphic photos but I won't link to them.

Its not the papers fault the moronic inbreds took the photo. It'll look great on the mantlepiece of their family home.

I think we can safely confirm she didn't get those knobbly knees from saying her prayers.

Some of us can continue to use the internet without the need to post Facebook picture, watch YouTube ISIS, tweet, or suchlike. Switching off the internet is a bit drastic.

I don't know what goes on in your house but I wouldn't be putting that type of photo on the mantle piece.

I think you need to look up the photo here.

h0neybadger · 13-10-2017 7:12pm

What was the sex act! No pics of it!

shaunr68 · 13-10-2017 7:12pm

Classy couple.

I guess we need a sarcasm font or colour then.

Ironically if she played trumpet in her own home this would be a non story.

I remember when the internet was so small that you'd sometimes get a message that a connection had failed, with the original CERN address displayed.

Now 12 year olds are sending naked pictures of themselves to each other. The president of the United States rules by illiterate tweets. Any moron can get an audience of millions for whatever hateful bile he wishes to spew and millions will get comfort from that and say "right on".

The disadvantages outweigh the advantages.

The time will come when there are 2 internets, then multiple internets - twitter Facebook and instagram will be disabled. There will be no adverts, YouTube will only be enabled without adverts - that search engine which plants trees will be the go to search engine.

We used to own the internet and they stole it from us - we are now going to take it back.

Listen mate. When you're stuck on a boat with only a bunch of blokes for company for 20 years, needs must....

Do Tb see anything wrong with the pics per se, each to their own.

As for ‘shutting down the internet’ yeah, I know it’s said faecesiuosly, but that can’t really happen anymore aside from an asteroid wiping us out.

murpho999 · 13-10-2017 7:35pm

I find the most shocking thing is that he got married in flip flops.

Classy couple and wedding.

Sadly, Facebook have been doing the opposite and been quite succesful at it.

Grooming telcos in emerging markets in very poor/underdeveloped countries, making deals so that the 'only' online presence, extremely impoverished people have, 'free', is Facebook access.

They're grooming the Philippines at the moment, with apps being tested there, that can run on basic phones with very limited bandwidth use. There's a reason the stuff is being tested there..

The Indian government might have told them them to feck off with the above practices, in the past, but they seem to have relented, it seems.

A video on liveleak of a chinese guy committing suicide by jumping off a tall building had a comment "I bereave i can fry" - where else could you get such commentary?

I love the internet.

everlast75 · 13-10-2017 8:02pm

Whats missing is the follow up picture of the bride's mother pushing her aside saying "here - let me show you how to do it properly"

tomwaterford · 13-10-2017 8:07pm

So you'd be happy to see it happening outside your front door, so your wife or servants could see it?

Rubberchikken · 13-10-2017 9:12pm

Ok. I'll do it now:eek::eek:

super_furry · 13-10-2017 9:15pm

Jesus. Imagine that being what you want people to remember from your wedding? Why bother going to the expense of flying out to Crete and dragging family and friends with you though? They could have done that in any local forest carpark.
