Voyage of the Dawn Header: I am very proud of my new header for my waste-of-time-and-money online personal ad: "I know what the Narnia books were REALLY about."

A friend asked me today if I'd considered using a Christian personal-ad service. I won't go into detail about the failings of Eharmony—let's just call them Legion, because there are many of them—but I will share an anecdote about ChristianCafe. A friend of mine just forwarded me an ad he'd gotten for ChristianCafe that came in a Beliefnet newsletter, so I decided to go for their "10-Day Free Trial". Well, my trial lasted all of 10 minutes. I got to their questionnaire and realized the so-called ChristianCafe was not operated by a Christian organization, but rather by the same concern that operates the decisively non-Christian "singles cafes" on the Web. (No, not MasonicCafe, MithraiteCafe, GnosticCafe, ArianCafe [sic], etc., but close enough.) Plus, it asks the same questions as those other sites, which are even more sex-obsessed than the ones Spring Street Networks asks. I quit by the time I got to the pull-down menu headed, "Ladies: State your body type."
