Love that commercial!

I initially didn't think was really a dating service. I thought it was a viral campaign designed to raise awareness about marriage equality, because it seems it's just the kind of photo-upload feature we do a lot at work. Put your photo in an existing video... that kind of thing.

So inspired by the commercial, I put in info of a man seeking a man, and they don't have a two-man video, only a man and a woman. They put in an apology at the end.

So surely it's not a viral anti-8 campaign. It seems you can "chat" with the random person they fix you up with, but if it's really a dating site, it's the worst one I've ever seen (and I met my husband on one; I've seen a lot.)

Still, terrific commercial.
