oh look , at okcupid we just found out a way to use the current news as advertising!

i think such stuff despises more than eich's support for prop 8.



You have a history of general reprehensibility on this site, so I probably shouldn't bother to give you the attention you crave. Because we all know that your beef isn't with them doing this, but with people not tolerating hatred of gays. And women, but, you know, one at a time.

That said, I want to stand up for a couple of my friends who work at OKCupid. They're excellent people and I don't believe the culture at OKC would be okay with using this as a vector for advertising. I'm confident they believe what they're saying and I wish more companies would take a stand against the bigots you like.


history wah? half my friends are gay. Many are women. One is my best friend.

I think that using the excuse of being a minority to enforce ridicule arguments is stupid - that's different.

Accusing people at random seems just as wrong.

In fact, this is an interesting point. I noticed that any "negative" comment towards reactions to this story generates very strong reactions from some people (including death messages). This doesn't happen with other topics.

What makes you entitled to think this is ok? (this is an honest question)
