European here. And I'm afraid to ask but morbid curiosity is winning over fear. But... can someone explain me what is went wrong here? My brain shutdown.
This is a big world, people's customs vary, and I'm not one who expects everyone to follow my moral judgements, but "COUSINS ARRESTED AFTER REFUSING TO STOP HAVING SEX DURING FUNERAL CEREMONY" doesn't throw up any red flags for you?
Not trying to dunk, more wondering whether I'm missing dry humor or a language barrier.

You can make up for it by having sex with your cousin.

Can't I just have sex with your cousin? Does that count?

The fact that people believe this was real shows that even the most basic media literacy is fucking dead.
Why are people so bad at recognizing obviously fake shit?

Cousins are not supposed to reproduce.
Having sex at a funeral is usually seen as disrespectful.
