When I grow up ...

I want to be Radar Magazine. This magazine always has hilarious, insightful stuff and has even survived 30 demises. It is unstoppable, that's how good it is.

Speaking of arranged marriages, the other day in Manhattan there was a speed dating event where the men had to prove they made 500k a year and had at least 1mill in the bank. And the women had to prove they were super hot by submitting 5 photographs of themselves. I am not making this up. The courageous investigative reporters at Radar went undercover and got their super-funny Neel Shah into the event. The piece shows the event to be as absurd and hysterical as you think it is.

PS - Be sure to view the CNN clip ... Human Rights Lawyer my arse ... and CNN reporter lady, of course that guy is straight, look at his sweater?!?!?! No need to insult the gay community.

Oh god, that speed dating event should be illegal. Against fire code. Too many douchebags in one room at one time. Still, I bet quite a lot of "soulmates" were found. For a night or two at least. Do you think Fake Paris Hilton found her soulmate? Is there a soulmate out there for someone who spends her days pretending to be someone who is fake? Man, that's deep...

Going to read the speed-dating article now, then it's back to work. Comment later, but it looks great!

"Against fire code. Too many douchebags in one room at one time."

Hah, too funny Mish! And weren't the conversations insanely absurd? The CNN clip is quite ridiculous. But there is a silver lining here. As long as these douchebags attend the same events, the rest of the dating community greatly benefits.

And LA, you should really check out the Radar piece, it is hysterical. And when you get the chance, check out the CNN clip as well, it is unintentionally hilarious.

i checked out both - too funny! and look for these rich guys to be pulling an alec baldwin and complaining about their bitch of a wife in a few years . . . devastated to find out she really did just marry him for his money . . .

What Diane said. If you marry under these circumstances, no complaining later.

Unreal! What is it they say about a fool and his money...
