Ramble Strip

There's no stripping. (Sorry.) But there's rambling, usually in the area of science, politics, pop culture, signs that are irritatingly misspelled, and religion, or anything that happens to be on my mind at the time. I post on study breaks, so that I don't go insane. Insaaaaaaaane!

No cults, please.

Listening to Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity on talk radio from 12-6 every day, I hear certain commercials eighteen million times. CortiSlim, that sleep number mattress, Theragesic, Ruth's Chris steakhouse, LiveLob.com, and eHarmony.

Now, I'm sure that Dr. Neil Clark Warren from eHarmony is a perfectly nice guy. But there's something about him that creeps me the heck out. When he starts with his, "There's a reason these two soulmates found each other!" it just makes me cringe. I can't help it. Maybe it's because I feel like he's asking me to join a cult, especially when he encourages everybody to go to eHarmony and create that personality profile that compares 29 different dimensions of compatibility. I always expect "and then we'll find you a soulmate" to be followed by, "and then, you'll all shave your left eyebrow and we'll dance around in chartreuse muumuus."

No thank you.
