Ashley Madison Is Not Your Wife's Personal Trainer

This might be old news for some, but it was news to me. A link in an article on my new favourite blog Jezebel whisked me away to the heady world of extramarital affair agencies. That's right, for the low low cost of $360 US, you get 6 months access to a database of people just itching (hopefully not literally itching) to get in touch with some taken bacon.

They say here that 'even swans are not monogamous.' Well, if it's good enough for swans... I've also recently taken up biting small children and eating water plants. (Thanks to the joys of the internet, while looking up what swans actually eat I discovered that there are gay swans. It seems they're a far more progressive species than anyone gives them credit for. It should be 'fucks like a swan'.)

The Ashley Madison Agency sounds like it was named after someone's precocious 3 year old. Check out the photo on the front page. That's what you get when you search for saucy+listener-hearing aid on Getty.

Their charming tagline, 'When Monogamy Becomes Monotony' warms the cockles of my heart. I suspect the whole site was set up by a group of divorce lawyers looking to drum up some business. Well, I would suspect it, apart from the fact that there are no divorce lawyers in the developed world who actually need to do that.

Your credit card bill will show 'Ashley Madison' which is really unhelpful. Ashley Madison is a person whose presence on your bill has to be explained. They should've just called it 'Wildlife Trust' or something. Ha! Because of the swans!

I wonder if they do gift certificates. I thought of a new tagline - For the Philanderer Who Has Everything! It'll be the most memorable wedding present they receive.

Aaron, I don't publish comments which are obviously just plugs for other websites. Get a fucking life.
