For all you married people who need a date
4Jan2008 Filed under: Op-ed Author: Spencer
Grace has been hearing ads for the Ashley Madison dating service on Stern. There are a million dating services and they all have their twist - this one’s no different; it’s for married folk. Wouldn’t you love to hear from Jerry Fallwell on this one - why’d he have to go and die on us? This would have killed him!
As a marketer, I have to love the tag line
When monogamy become monotony
BRILLIANCE! Question: don’t you get married so you don’t have to date anymore? Oh - it doesn’t have anything to do with dating does it? Well, judging by the number of sites that do the same thing, it must be a bustling business.
(And the religious right worry about homosexuality hurting the sanctity of marriage. PULEASE!)

About this blog
Ostensibly A Rubber Door is about anything that's on my mind. Mostly that seems to be about politics, music, sports, and arguing with others about all of the above. I took the name of this blog from a Michael Penn song called Me Around. Check out Michael - he's about the best singer/songwriter there is.

I think I like the tagline on the sign up page for singles: “Because the best men and women are already taken”
I suppose there is a niche for this sort of thing. I just didn’t realize that affairs were so socially acceptable to create a dating site for them…

I think its an amazing statement about where this society is, at this point. If there is a way to make money, no matter how low down it is, someone will find it and market it successfully.
As ugly as it is, think about how brilliant it is. They just took something that has been going on forever (infidelity) and cashed in on it.
I am not supporting it. I am just saying…it’s pretty smart.
