Creepy Commercials

Okay, I can't suppress this any more, and I can only hope I'm not the only one who feels this way.

The commercials on TV for eHarmony.com are creepier than an old man in the kiddy-pool at a public park. And I'm talking about all of their commercials, not just one or two of them.

That old man, Dr. Warren, who founded eHarmony and insists on being in all the commercials, is the quintessential creepy old man. And the way he interjects himself into the middle of supposedly ideal romantic relationships makes me cringe every time I'm forced to see it (when flipping channels for example). Not to mention how he slides like a genuine sleazeball into the seat across from that hopelessly pathetic woman at the speed dating table. I always imagine him saying, "Do you have young children?" I love women with children." everytime I see the way he sits down and hear that sleazy tone of voice he no doubt imagines to be sooting (as any true sleazeball would).

But then, maybe I'm just being biased (or outright prejudice) since I learned how eHarmony only caters to "upstanding" (i.e. Christian-like) people. It "filters out" the "undesirables" with its questionaires and only allows "acceptable" people to use their service. How creepy is that?
