A friend told me about a new website the other day that appears to be dedicated to vigorously annihilating the 7th commandment. The one about not committing adultery. It’s similar to the 9th, which is “Do not covet thy neighbor’s wife.”
Apparently God thought we needed an extra reminder.
Does anyone covet anymore, or is that a word overdue for retirement? I doth think so, how about thou?
That extra reminder is ignored by this website, because it stands that dating-service-for-singles idea on its head, or possibly on its bed.
It’s a dating service for marrieds. Specifically, a dating service for marrieds looking to have an affair. Forget about eharmony, it’s promoting e-disharmony. Yep, a website that facilitates philandering.
It’s bad enough couples are being torn apart with porn surfing and “other life” virtual games. Now a dating service actually supplies and screens your real “other woman” or “other man.”
It’s iniquitous, audacious, and purely capitalist. Talk about a niche market. They purportedly have millions of visitors and registrees. They do electronic matching not unlike the other dating services, except the folks are married and looking to tear off a slice of strange.
So can they still call themselves “matchmakers” when they’re also unmatchmaking at the same time?
The place is Ashley Madison dot com. They say they are just helping people do what they were going to do anyhow, but taking away some of the hassle.
Um, sometimes the “hassle” helps people not do something they would later regret. That whole law/police thing is a “hassle” that stops people from following their desire to steal a car.
I just hope they post a link on their website to my-spouse-left-me-for-an-internet-skank-and-I’m-devastated-what-do-I-do-now dot com.
America, ya gotta love it.
