Bishops upset; Ashley Madison takes off

The regional hubbub over the Ashley Madison web dating service has been astonishing considering the site has been active with a massive advertising campaign for a few years now. The site by definition is not news, so in a way Massachusetts’ four Bishops were correct in releasing the following statement:

“Frankly, the media was suckered into the story,” said Raymond L. Delisle, a spokesman for Bishop McManus. “The story was all over the place, driving more and more people to the Web site.”

But apparently the Bishops got suckered as well. What could be a better advertisement for a good time than four high ranking church officials telling you something is wrong. With this kind of publicity I’d be curious to see Bishop McManus’ portfolio, he’s probably heavy in Ashley Madison stock. Well, if nothing else at least the church still has a healthy sense of Irony.

    Church figures commenting on public morality issues? Gee, it’s almost like what they’ve done for the last 2,000 years.
