Does anyone else feel like the people in the online dating commercials are part of their family? Does anyone else like want to go to their house, eat dinner with them and find out all about their family? Does anyone else want to rummage through their trash and maybe find out about their eating habits, hygiene and identity information? Does anyone else maybe want to figure out a way to off them, and then take some time to assume their identity, integrate themselves into a brand new community with their assumed identities, all the while figuring out a way to burgle many of the area homes?

Um, me neither.

I'm just wondering about the cases that don't work out. I'm talking about people who actually meet, get married and then split up. I don't see Dr. Neil Clarke Warren from eHarmony telling the story of two people who met on his website and then had an acrimonious breakup, coupled with confrontational divorce hearings and an ugly, drawn-out custody dispute.

My point: why not? If I'm forced to hear that two people are convinced that they've met their soulmate, I should get to hear about when that couple breaks up and can't be in the same room with each other anymore. It's the friggin' cycle of life.
