Waiting for my dream girl

[a9127]

This "ad" showed up on CNN today. The caption read "AARP Video Shows How Age Discrimination Works."

First of all, I'm concerned that things from "AARP" are showing up on my pages in the first place.

But the "arrows" really have me confused. The one that says "Over 40" is pointing to my "future wife" on the left and the one that says "Under 40" is aimed towards her mom or maybe grandmother?

(Or am I just senile and have misinterpreted it? )

Kelly has been my dream girl longer than anyone.

Today's best "fake ad" on CNN.

At least there hasn't been a "Born Before 1985" one implying I look like an 80 year old man in quite a while.

Tried "swiping right" on her but it didn't work.

Well I couldn't help posting this one. "Future wife?" She is from yet another CNN "fake ad." Yeah, I guess when I think of California I think of cheerleaders. Especially from "UCLA."

You know if this keeps up I'm going to have a lot of "ex wives." That's a lot of alimony...

Today's e-mail brought an appeal to join the Zionsville "Chamber of Commerce." Would have deleted it immediately except it featured a picture of yet another "future wife."

If she really is a member and I joined, it's almost guaranteed that there would be some kind of scandal.

(Yes, the original really was "rotated" like that.)

Showed up in my CNN feed today. Have never seen Tangled but of course I'm familiar with the story of Rapunzel.

Before posting, I decided to do an “age check.” This is what the official synopsis had to say:

“…at the age of 18, Rapunzel becomes curious about the outside world…”

Despite what this says, I never thought Disney was intentionally dirty. The only incident I’m aware of was the “Penis Castle” cover for The Little Mermaid. There was enough controversy that Disney pulled it (“pulled” ) and re-issued the DVD with another cover. There’s lots on this out there. Is it? Or not? What do you think?

I might have to watch Tangled after all. Maybe they’re right. Bondage? Looks like fun.

Well that was definitely worth the climb. Disney must have cut this scene out of the final edit.

Shit. I thought she was for sure my "future wife".

Instead it turned out to be "performance art." In other words--a fake. Such is my luck with on-line dating.
