Love In The Time Of Online Dating
It’s not clear why the guy trying to sign up for online dating in this short skit confines his prospective dirty screen names to authors only, but I still laughed loudly and childishly.
And then of course, I had to come up with my own list of cuncontenders. Feel free to add yours!

My current favourite Youtube trend is Microsoft Songsmith videos. They’ve brought out this new program which you sing into and it makes the song for you. See incredibly naff advertisement below:

Now everybodys feeding popular vocal tracks into it and seeing what comes out. The best one I’ve heard so far is Roxanne by The Police.

Is he trying to convey a balance between sophisticated and intelligent on one hand, and up for it on the other hand? I realise my comment contains the phrase “Up for it on the other hand”.
i feel bad, but john updike doesn’t really need any changing. may he rest in peace.
James: The ad is comedy, but the novelty of the Roxanne vid wore off for me after about 10 seconds.
Matt: I wouldn’t really bother wondering about the nuances of his motivations, it’s probably not rocket science. I realise my comment contains the word “rocket”.
supertsar: I considered adding a list of authors who didn’t need any change eg. Heraclitus, Emily Dickinson, but didn’t in the end. But yes, he would have been on such a list.
Yes – he’s hardly looking for anything noble. I realise my comment contains the three consecutive letters “nob”.
