Ashley Madison - 'Welcome to the first day of the rest of your internet'

haha no dylannn i would never, it's just that most of these sites seem to fake / juke the listings, maybe even show stock photos of people not in your locality, to generate the impression that there are sooo maaaaany hoottttt willllllling ppl out there

one of these sites i looked at, ashley madison i think, also had a prominent kept-young-hottie contingent, sugar daddies, etc., even some that stipulated explicitly looking for someone to pay for college and getting companionship but no sex out of the deal

cannot comprehend using an official or work email to sign up for a sex site

your mind lacks the unique dumbness

so when "adultery" became "legal" in south korea, the korean version of ashley madison went live and it had thousands upon thousands of sign ups. i want to read the story of the leaked information of korean husbands and wives more than the north american one, though it's all too amusing

why did you put adultery in "quotes"

feel like there are a number of reasons people seek out infidelity instead of leaving a relationship that are mundane and depressing and not well-represented in the ashley madison marketing

corsets and lipstick pretty well represented, though

why did you put adultery in "quotes"

because korean laws are a mindfuck...i don't want to derail this thread. if you're interested, there are tonnes of fun resources explaining this weird law

"adultery" being an act that's more social convention than legal one, codifying it as legal/illegal is kind of ridiculous, although possibly less so in cultures where coupling is more of an arranged structure than a romanticized ideal

looks like a good court for dealing with adultery in

andrew, couldn't it have just been another dude with the same name?

Or is that the joke.

The joke is that everyone believes him

I've met, he's definitely not Canadian.

You met him. Who you didn't meet was "theTorontoBronco77"

I love hackers. Hack the planet.

Understand people being worried about the effects on the users now exposed, but not sad to see a business based on such an unpleasant moral basis have its model effectively wrecked

what if last of summer wine modarn day? Howard go on ahsley madison get found out by pearl

I just found a review of the Good Wife episode Getting Off which is the adultery site one. http://www.avclub.com/tvclub/the-good-wife-getting-off-55741 it mentions Ashley Madison by name and talks about previous notoriety. That's dated May 2011.
I was just wondering if Ashley Madison had been the one site to have previous media notoriety prior to the current story. I haven't really heard of other sites than theirs but wouldn't really be looking anyway.
So if their site was mentioned by name 4 there years ago, it does look like they have some history of scandal.

Were they well known for it, like was it a well known name for people here prior to the current scandal?

Well yeah, they're Ashley Madison - you've literally never heard of them before?

NOt really something that crosses my radar I don't think. Are they International? Could be me not being in the US that influences that too.

They had a few publicity stunts, like trying to get a Super Bowl commercial and getting turned down by the NFL, that boosted their profile.

i hadn't heard of ashley madison before either.

I still can't believe they were *actually* going to do a Super Bowl commercial (and also find it hard to believe that the NFL would reject anyone's money) - what they actually did was pretty effective. That's the first time I started hearing about the site.

sure

andrew, couldn't it have just been another dude with the same name?

That's prob the case, yes. Just got concerned someone had used my email or whatever. They didn't, so it's all good. Now I'm dropping it before my wife says I protesteth too mucheth.

"theTorontoBronco77"

"What a world we live in. I guess we'll have to reset all of our passwords."

but really there are more women named "ashley madison" in the US than there were affairs conducted on this site. i thought everyone knew it was a scam.

lol ron is stunned

I can not find a woman actually named "Ashley Madison" right now. That's nuts.

""ashley madison" -cheating -adultry -hack -infidelity -dump -hackers -membership"

i knew about ashley madison because a friend's band has a song called "ashley madison account"

always found it strange to contemplate the meetings at which "ashley madison" was deigned to be a name at the right confluence of "classy" and "adventurous"

top 2 most popular girls' names at the time, no pretence at class

like a debutante president

might be worth searching for ppl called like ashleigh maddison or w/e

haha 146 men chasing 2 women in vancouver. seriously, dawg? come on. this really rustles my jimmies.

it's a double-whammy.

people fall into big co's trap, because big co is thirsty for money, and big co nicely illustrates a large population's immoral, disgusting behaviour.

keep it classy, humanity

if you're interested in a double-whammy, just pm jjj
