All hope for humanity is officially lost: Death and Taxes‘ Ned Hepburn received a press release from a dating website asking readers who they’d want by their side on a first date “IN THE EVENT OF A TRAGEDY LIKE THE DARK NIGHT MASSACRE.” (Emphasis ours, out of emotional necessity.)
We don’t expect all that much in terms of class from WhatsYourPrice.com, which is basically like Ebay for women. (No, that doesn’t mean it’s Pinterest-y, it means you actually get to bid on female humans.) But this goes above and beyond all our seedy advertising expectations. An excerpt:
Hi [redacted],
In the event of a tragedy like the Dark Knight Massacre, who would you want by your side on a first date? One online dating website asked their members what they would do on a first date if they found themselves in danger, and the answer may surprise you. If you are holding out for a hero, dating someone who is generous, but not necessarily wealthy, may be the difference between life and death.
During the Dark Knight Massacre, three men lost their lives to save the lives of their girlfriends. But what if you were on a first date, and you had only just met? How do you differentiate the courageous from the cowardly? According to the results of the survey of over 20,000 generous male members, it’s by generosity, but a man’s generosity is not defined by the size of his wallet. In fact, men who make between $80,000 to $150,000 per year are more likely to take a bullet for you on a first date.Those who fall outside of that income bracket, are significantly less likely to put their well being over that of their date’s, on a first date.
