Life is Short, Have an Affair - a new level of cynicism

My husband's friend made a very good point about the commercial in my earlier post :

"... I have a slight problem with the scenario they've envisioned in the commerical linked. His fat ugly wife should have been beautiful or at least better looking in their wedding picture. That would have made more sense. I would have sympathized with the guy's perceived need somewhat to call Ashley Madison. The fact she was fat and ugly when he married her makes me think the guy's just an idiot."
And following that line of thought, if this guy is such a loser, it's not very probable that any of the Ashley Madison "Desperate Housewives" are going to leap at the chance to hook up with him either. Unless Ashley Madison runs a Heidi Fleiss side business, he's out of luck.

Here's another one of their ads:

Life is Short Have an Affair video

Life is Short, Have an Affair: Family values advocates are up in arms and ESPN has yanked this ad from what they call an 'infidelity matchmaking service'. Watch the banned ad:







The Ashley Madison Agency, calls itself "The World's Premier Discreet Dating Service" with almost 3 million "like minded members".

This is the second controversial ad from the Ashley Madison Agency. The first was this billboard in West Hollywood: Life is short, have an affair.



Curious what it's all about? Look for the link to the Ashley Madison Agency in the Ads by Google section - top-right.
