There’s a great show on Current TV called infoMania. It’s their weekly review program; their version of E!’s The Soup or VH1’s Best Week Ever. This week was the obligatory <a href=”http:\/\/current.com\/items\/89810903\/this_week_s_infomania_tramps_in_schoolgirl_uniforms_the_worst_of_the.htm”>Valentine’s themed-show<\/a>, featuring some funny segments about online dating. They threw in a reference to a site for people who are looking to have affairs. The site’s tagline is “When Divorce Isn’t An Option.”<\/p>\n
Ummm, ok.<\/p>\n
I’m no prude and believe people can do what they want so long as they’re willing to accept the consequences, but isn’t this stuff supposed to be hidden? Like blind ads in the weekly alternative papers, or in the backs of porn mags? Not some fancy website with well-produced commercials?<\/p>\n
(Watch the clip for the name of the site. It comes about 8:00 into the show. I really don’t want to link to it myself.)<\/p>\n
Being a curious lad, I did have to check out the site. You don’t get much without registering, and I didn’t think my wife would understand me registering for such a site in the name of “research for the blog.” But I can report that they offer an Affair Guarantee. That’s reassuring.<\/p>\n
Suddenly if feels like New York, 1977 in here.<\/p>\n
And with that, Happy Valentine’s Day, everybody!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
