Two major online dating agencies are being sued for alleged fraud and malpractice in the United States.

Match.com has been accused of sending bogus emails to clients and using their own staff to attend some dates - the practice known as "date bait".

A separate lawsuit involves Yahoo's personal service.

Match.com denies the allegations but is not commenting on the pending litigation. Yahoo has not made any comment on its case.

1. God why couldn't they get

eharmony.com. I hate their fucking ads and they guy that runs it Dr. Neil Clark Warren looks more than just a little creepy (he's also one of those guys with three first names like Lee Harvey Oswald).

3. Warren is a homophobic fundy-wundy...

...which is why eharmony.com does not allow LGBT people to use its service.

(FYI for all not aware of that little fact.)

4. I knew it! I knew it!

I told my wife that there was something awfully small-c christian about those ads. Notice you never see any interracial couples either. Is Dr. Three-first-names opposed to that also?

5. Isn't there another word for paying your employees to go on dates?

Prostitution?
