Logic fail

It is no secret that one likes nothing better than to drift off to sleep with the TV on. There are a raft of preferences; predominantly male voices (something about the sound of them at a low volume is particularly soothing), not too many ads, the ads need to not scream when they come on (not soothing at all) and so on and so forth. Things like Law and Order are perfect to sleep to, as was Perry Mason in its day. There are whole seasons that one has no idea what happened in the end... and one can live with that. Just as some children need their blankie to sleep, so one small slave needs a nice soothing show... well not needs, but prefers. It often doesn't happen when He is home. Mr Sleeps Like the Cat... you know one eye half open... well his ears swivel in his sleep and the noise is disturbing L

Needless to say when He is on night shift one small slave has not only free reign of the king sized bed, but of the TV as well. So along with the other little night time rituals, is finding the perfect show to go to sleep to. Some nights one has more luck than others and some nights the ads cause more problems than good. It was as one was drifting off that an ad caused some minor issues...  

At the moment they are running ads for a dating site that prides itself on finding people their perfect mate. They achieve this by "using science and personality profiling to find potential matches"... think that is probably code for really long questionnaires and some spiffy algorithms.

We, the viewer, then get to listen to these hopeful people awkwardly declare how successful the process has been for them and how perfect the people they have met are. And all one can think, when listening these ads, is...

Well they aren't that fucking perfect 'cos you are still single

And then one starts to wonder...

If you are going out on all these perfect dates...

Why are you still single? What is wrong with this foolproof system? Is there something wrong with you... or them? And why have you got to be that age without meeting someone? How impossibly high are your standards?

And why would anyone want to use this obviously flawed system that has failed so many times...

These questions and others do not aid sleep at all L
