Thank you for that, I thought I had finally lost my marbles. I KNEW I had heard that story before, and it wasn't recently.

And yes, I'm pretty sure it was proven a fake.

Post #1 indicates that it's a myth. I've never heard of a myth being considered current events.

As for Post Sherriff, you're welcome. The community has to step up when needed.

Where does post #1 indicate the story is fake?

I wouldn't want to have such a man for my father.

According to snopes the story apparently originated in a Chinese newspaper (the Heilongjiang Morning Post) known for publishing urban-legend like tales without verification.

Kid looks a lot more like dad than mom...

Just sayin'!

Really? At the very bottom of the article it says this, which was already pointed out to you:

But it seems this story is an urban myth. According to Snopes.com, the story has been circulated around the web since 2004 and is "probably false."

Looks like media outlets have been bitten again.

That wasn't there in the original publishing, and I also see they removed the photo. Oh well, now we just need to know if the gerbil thing with Richard Gere actually happened.

I hate it when they edit/update stories and then it makes it look like you didn't read it before posting. That has happened to me when I made a comment in the comment section of a newspaper. People just don't think. I don't mean people here necessarily. But when I posted a comment to that comment section people saw the updated version and kept jumping on me for my comment and I had to repeatedly say that the article had changed since the time I posted. I can only comment on what is there when I comment!

But what a horrible dad to do that to his kid.

Well the mother must have thought she herself was pretty ugly if she spent over $100,000 to change her looks.
