Cheaters, Inc.
It may now be easier to have an affair than to find a spouse.
Thanks to the folks at AshleyMadison.com — a company that proudly hooks up married folks so they can have illicit affairs — the idea of same-sex unions may no longer be the biggest “threat” to the sanctity of marriage.
With nearly 3.5 million members, (at a reported ratio, not surprisingly, of about 8 men to every 2 women) the site — ads for which liken marriage to a bad date or a regrettable one-night stand which goes on eternally — offers weak-willed people the ultimate rationalization right there in its slogan: “Life is short. Have an affair.”
A literal sign of the times.
Um, if life is so short, how about sticking by the person you vowed to love, honor and cherish until death you did part?
The site loves to wave its freak flag, declaring, “As seen on Howard 20/20, Ellen, Dr. Phil and Larry King” as if to imply all — or, for that matter, any — of those shows thought promoting affairs was a worthwhile endeavor or gave the sleezemongers a thumbs up. And they even offer what they call an “affair guarantee program” which states “if you don’t find someone within the initial 3 months after purchasing… we’ll [offer you a refund].”
Yes, guys, all our clients look like her! Really! Seriously!
Wow. Can they guarantee that lives won’t be destroyed, too?
No?
Oh well, you can’t have it all.
What the folks over at the site can have is their time in our spotlight as the winners of this week’s Rudest Persons Award.
Playing Devil’s Advocate here… because I absolutely don’t condone the service at all…
The people most likely to pay for the service are those that are more likely going to cheat on their spouse in the first place. I don’t condone that behaviour, either.
However, if they can match people up on a purely sexual need and, provide a service in which they’re making sure that the people involved are tested for STD’s, then it’s a business that provides a somewhat valuable service to a very repugnant portion of society. *
*I admit I haven’t review their business practices to understand what makes their service so much better than the free method.
My luck I would end up with my husband.
