Yesterday, as I was going through my emails, I saw one pop up from Okcupid.com where I once upon a time had a dating profile and account. I thought it was weird that they would send me an email when my account was deleted – so I clicked on it.
Up popped a picture of a birthday cake with a solitary candle and the email read.
“Happy Birthday! Still Single? Come check out your matches and find the men who want to meet you for your birthday!”
Still single?
Really?
That’s their brilliant ad campaign to bring people back to their site? Remind people that they aren’t getting any younger and it sucks to spend your birthday single?
Well, fuck you very much, Okcupid. You can go straight to hell.
And where do I sign up for a new account?

Every once in a while, I get something similar from them. It does kind of take the wind out of your sails, doesn’t it?
Oh, well. We know you’re awesome and lovable. So there.

The Portland Mercury’s Lovelab is even worse. Every time your paid account expires, you get an email essentially saying “You’re still single, so want to give us more money?”
