 well, some religions do look at women as incubators.....this is taking it a bit too literally, I think.  |

I saw that earlier! gotta love those highly religious places that shy away from sex ed in the name of piety or whatever their flavor of religion might call it.....here's yet another example of how it doesn't end well. bravo, Colombia. From the article: The bizarre case sheds light on a lack of sex education, despite it being mandatory in the South American country.
Research conducted by the Colombian Institute of Family Welfare - to try and reduce high levels of teenage pregnancy - found a startling lack of awareness about contraception in young people.
Girls are often pressured into having unsafe sex, the campaign found.
Maria Eugenia Rosselli, the Colombian Ministry of Education sociologist was reported said the lack of 'sex talk' between young people and their parents had created a void of information.
This, in turn, had created high levels of sexually transmitted diseases and unwanted pregnancies. Hence sex education is mandatory, parents have committed mandated 'sex talk' to the educators (who are failing), girls are pressured into having unsafe sex, and "piety or whatever their flavor of religion [is]" is the problem. Clearly it's also the reason why a Columbian mother gave her daughter bad advice about cheap contraception, which she wouldn't have done had she not been so pious or whatever. We evidently don't even need to know what her religion is to reach this conclusion. I hear Colombia's piety or whatever is also the reason their water quality isn't up to par. You should look into that.  |

Granted it is a much more ... hmmmm ... "organic(?)" method but with a large enough potato, isn't it basically the same motherly contraceptive advice as holding a penny between your knees? |

Don't eat the potato leaves-they are poisonous.

No, not quite. With the penny method, one isn't able to insert Tab A into Slot B. Can't ride unless you can assemble the bicycle. With the potato concept, you are plowing but not fertilizing. |

Wow! Just wow! I've never heard of the tater top, or this method of contraception either. Do you suppose the potato was better fertilized? I wonder how long it was left in there?!  It gives a whole new meaning to eating out! (Sorry!)  |

I read the article to say a lack of sex education was the cause of this. I saw nothing about it having anything to do with religion. Did I miss something? |

That is one of the most disgusting things that I have ever laughed at! My mind just went to tata jokes immediately. I really should be ashamed but I'm not.  I just sat back and wondered why my potatoes didn't do as well in the garden this year. Maybe they were seed potatoes from - never mind I'm not even going there  |

And BTW, I don't remember the tater top. Could someone enlighten me please. It was back on the old MSN Lifestyle boards, on Marriage and Relationships. Some girl, most likely a troll, started a thread, “Help, I lost my Tater Top.” Evidently she was having difficulty removing the half potato she had been using for contraception. The OP played along for quite some time as if it was the most normal thing in the world, and none of the suggestions for retrieval were working. It quickly reached other forums and became a very long and hilarious thread. Regretfully, I'm not a better story teller, and do not remember many more details.  |

Barring the obvious problem of retrieval, would a potato work even partially as a contraceptive? It is after all a barrier of roughly the right proportions.
As for this story, several sites including snopes are now reporting that all instances of the story trace back to a common article and that the article is likely a hoax.
