Return to the good ol' days?

There are certain social norms that we accept today that leads to novels being approached with an "ewww gross" from many of today's students. Luckily these days those "eww gross" situations are coming back!

1. "Ruby and the Rocketts" on ABC Family where one of the main characters is in love with his cousin and not in an "Arrested Development" kind of hilariously awkward way.
2. "17 Again" Yes I get that part of the awkwardness is a mom being in love with a 17 year old kid who is actually her husband, but come on, if that were the other way around gender-wise people would be upset.
3. "Twilight" Domestic abuse anyone?

I'm going to use these the next time for a little compare contrast.
