ESPN pulled a tv that matches would-be adulterers looking for an affair. The tv ad was a spot for AshleyMadison.com - a matchmaking website that carries the tagline "Life is Short. Have an affair."
The website's CEO told Fred Katayama that the network is applying a double standard by allowing tobacco and erectile disfunction advertisements but not ads for his ads service.
A New Jersey cab driver Ahmed Ibrahim has been playing cupid from his taxi. A New York Daily Newsarticle from earlier this year says he has arranged over 70 dates.
He has swapped numbers between hundreds of couples, helped organize more than 70 real dates and at least 19 of his romances have lasted more than a year.
This Thursday, Ibrahim will be decking his yellow cab with red and white hearts and roses in the hope of matching up yet more Mr. and Mrs. Rights.
"I've organized so many dates, and it really makes me feel good about it. I've not had one complaint," Ibrahim, 53, said.
"It's really fun. Driving a taxi in New York is not an easy job so I just try to create some fun."

Everyone has had a missed connection while riding the trains (you don't have to just be this guy) so we thought we would help.
The site's about page says it was created by Mike Bodge of Lolz LLC and Matthew Haggerty. (via Monochronicle)
