The Worst Idea Ever
This has to be the worst idea of all time. It is a dating service designed to promote romance among like-minded media types. 'Our members,' they warble, 'are journalists, photographers, designers, camera crew and technicians, as well as public relations, advertising and marketing bods, along with hard-pressed administrative staff.' And 'We'll block dodgy profiles faster than you can say 'Hold the front page'.' Good grief, who, in this business, doesn't have a dodgy profile? And, 'you're definitely at the wrong address if all you're after is a meaningless shag.' Since they expect their lovers to be busy exchanging media gossip, a uniquely anaphrodisiac activity, any shag, meaningless or otherwise, is unlikely.

I am proud to boast that this has been acclaimed 'one of the funniest blog posts ever' by the books editor of The Philadelphia Inquirer. Well, he's very kind, but funnier than Jeffrey....? Hardly.
ReplyDeleteYes but your blog is intentionally funny!
ReplyDeleteHmmm, I suppose you're right, Lee, but every word is but the simple truth.
ReplyDeleteGood grief, who in this business ever says, "Hold the front page!" anymore?

I think I did once, Peter, but it was a long time ago and in another country and, besides, the wench is dead.
