Have you ever slept with a girl you met on the internet?

Lets just say that a jackass TV sports guy in my state learned that one the hard way when his profile (turned on by skinny dipping!) zoomed across the newsrooms of said state in record time.

 

Oh, I'd never put you two in the same category as Mariotti... that would just be cruel!

 

OK, let me ask this: if you are a high-profile figure, don't you owe it to your newspaper or TV station to lay low and not post on Match.com or another dating Web site?

I mean, someone's gonna recognize you, and nothing good can come from Mr. Star TV Anchor listing his turn-ons for everyone to see. Right?

 

If you work for a highly visible sports section, don't you owe it to your employers not to blog about blow jobs?

 

It falls under the heading of sense, common, if you ask me.

 

That's what I thought. And maybe that guy deserved it, but it seems like even if the personal-ad poster was sincere, he/she would be torn to shreds by fellow reporters/radio morons/team covered if it was a beat writer. I imagine it'd be worse if the person was a columnist.

 

A MLB beat-writer buddy of mine got an email with a link to a colleague's Match.com profile, complete with photos of him posing with various MLB players.

The sender? His embittered ex-wife, who CC'd the email to everyone the guy knew -- friends, family, co-workers, colleagues.

Embarrassing to say the least.

 

to the curious, I can't tell you who it is. she'd kill me. but it happened.

 

Actually, one of my matches from Yahoo personals, a woman whom I emaled, does indeed work here. But why should I be embarassed by it?

 

I believe it was oral sex in general -- but carry on.

 

She probably wants to kill you now for saying you slept with someone from here.

 

Was it Sandy?
