True

These "True" ads that have popped up on the internet everywhere really creep me out. You know the ones? Just BOOBS and maybe LIPS or an ASS? But no eyes, though. That would get in the way of the dehumanizing objectification. One I saw today had some shapely blond down on a fours, miles of cleavage, eyes conveniently cropped out, and the caption said "Get passionate about love again." Yes, find true love with a girl... but never make eye contact with her! Why not just say "At True, you can find possible sex partners"? If I ran that company, the ad captions would all say "Find someone to stick it in." At least it'd be honest.

My favorite part of the True ads (some of them, anyway; not all of them say this) is where they say "We screen for felons and marrieds."

If you're looking for sex on the internet, can you afford to be picky?
