winterbadger | "No sex, please, we're German" story a hoax

for those with whom I shared the original "story," here's a correction from Snopes, via Dan Savage's column:

And while we're on the subject of last week's column: I mentioned a story about a religious couple who didn't know they had to have sex in order to get pregnant. It turns out the story is a hoax. Or as one reader put it, "Congrats on being the latest fucking retard sucked in by the infertile German couple urban legend. You're in good company, Savage, right up there with Fox News!"
