eAffair: Adultery has gone digital

Oh sure, us singles out there think we're so special because we have our eHarmony and Soul Mates R' Us dating Web sites.

But now you married people can get in on all the fun. You can thank my good friend DeDe for passing on this little tidbit to me (who is a lovely young lady despite all those Internet rumors floating around).

Welcome to the Web site www.ashleymadison.com, the (brace yourself) married dating site. I'll allow some time for you to swallow the disgusted bile that just entered your mouth.

...(scratches nose)...

...(checks watch)...

Better now? Okay, good.

I wish I was making this up, folks. Sadly I am not. Boasting the motto of "Life is Short, Have an Affair" the Web site allows married folks to search for other married folks for some, ahem, discretionary fun. Of the Biblical kind, if you catch my drift (hint, hint, wink, wink, narf, narf).

Now apparently this Web site has been around for quite awhile but it is now going more mainstream. Rumor has it they may even have a commercial next year during the Super Bowl.

According to Noel Biderman, President of AshleyMadison.com, "partnering with the Super Bowl is the perfect fit because over 50 percent of all men in the U.S. watch the Super Bowl just like over 50 percent of all men will have an affair at some point in their lives."

Man, I feel like I need shower now.
