- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -8/+165I was drunk once... I saw a picture of the new Britney Spears, and I decided I still wouldn't hit it.
- jaymulder, on 10/11/2007, -9/+99Dugg for facebook = pr0n
- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -2/+89Funny, but last time I saw a tree, it was a target.
- MikeonTV, on 10/11/2007, -3/+84great set up for the facebook joke
- busch30pack, on 10/11/2007, -1/+78Here are a couple more (at the bottom): http://www.collegehumor.com/article/tag:drunkovision
- TrevorBelmont, on 10/11/2007, -4/+60At the bottom of the article there's a link that says:
"Dude, there's 65 really interesting comments.
If you want to read them, you must sign in."
I deeply detest it when companies/websites use familiar, "hip" language to make me feel like the company and I are friends. I'm not your friend. It's impossible to be friends with a company. Don't call me "Dude". I hear it as "Hey, Stupid!"
Pardon the tangent, but that stuff really pisses me off. - peranadigital, on 10/11/2007, -1/+40and phone = list of girls that are waiting to be called for sex at 4am.
I believe it's called drunk dialing. And when that fails (it always does) you might have to resort to
hand = jessica alba - synthsrkl, on 10/11/2007, -1/+37for me, drunkness usually results in street = urinal
- Radionesiac, on 10/11/2007, -4/+36ho-dally that was clever
- Madrox17, on 10/11/2007, -2/+33From an old version of the now edited (probably by AFF.com) Wikipedia entry:
== Criticism ==
- - AFF have one of the most extensive advertising programs on the internet. A key feature of their online advertising system is pictures of attractive women supposedly living local to the website user. This is achieved by IP-localisation software. In fact, repeated observation makes it clear that the pictures and profile names alongside them are not matched, but rotate randomly. They also use culturally unlikely names for the supposed location of the women - e.g. no UK girl is likely to use the nickname 'fratchick', a 'britney' in Europe is unlikely to be 28 years old etc. According to the user's location, racially unlikely galleries of women may also be presented. Paid-up members have made similar complaints about unlikely cultural references/nicknames of supposed contacts on the actual AFF website.
- - On the AFF website, some advertisers (usually female) use faked details to entice others, including fake photographs. Some of the photographs known to have been used include those of well-known porn stars and similar. - - There is some [http://www.articlesbase.com/communication-articles/adult-friend-finder-is-it-really-involved-in-a-scam-60326.html ] controversy over the true ratios of male to female members, it is suspected that the number of active female real members is very low compared to the number of males. It is suspected that AFF makes no real effort to deal with these problems, as it is in their interest not to do so - the website user has to purchase a membership before s/he finds out the true extent of these problems.
- - AFF has been frequently criticized as a popular target for [[phishing]] attempts and other [[Internet fraud|online scams]]. Such schemes work by creating fake profiles with attractive female photos, and then using these accounts to attract visitors to [[pornography]] websites or to initiate scams such as the [[Advance fee fraud]] (AFF scam).
- - AFF, along with most major dating sites, employ an 'abuse team' as an extension of its customer service team, to deal with spammers, scammers, the obscene and the obnoxious.
- - It has been claimed [http://www.articlesbase.com/communication-articles/adult-friend-finder-is-it-really-involved-in-a-scam-60326.html ] that AFF consistently uses controversial advertising methods such as [[spam (electronic)|spam]] and [[spyware]]. Some claims suggest that they have hijacked AOL accounts of both members and non-members and used them to send out spam. - - The most recent criticism to be experienced by the adult meeting website has to do with the use of "decoys". There are several claims that the people in the chat rooms are not genuine people, that they are "plants" or "decoys", the main goal is to start a continuous conversation with their mark. These marks are usually men or women who have not purchased complete memberships and in doing so are not able to access the full features of the website. The goal of the decoy is to convince these marks to purchase the full membership. Which would thus allow the mark full access to all of the sites features, such as the most important, email. Which is necessary to continue contact with the decoy who they believe to be an actual AFF member. The benefit to AFF, more pricey memberships are purchased and members remain on the site far longer than those with limited memberships.
- - There is even a criticism by paying members. Gold members are routinely assaulted with fake communications, requesting e-mail communications and asking to pay for an account on another website. Gold members have complained that 4 out of 5 communications are totally false.
- - Female genuine members should also be careful about contacting males on the site. There are some registered who just want to collect amateur porno pics and exchange them with each other. Many women say there is very little follow through if you want a genuine 'date'. - clark24, on 10/11/2007, -3/+32The first three kind of "eh", the last three were kind of "heh"
- jeriqo, on 10/11/2007, -3/+20So, does adultfriendfinder actually work or all those profiles are fake?
- orientis, on 10/11/2007, -1/+16Hey don't rope me into this *****... I just think this is a boring picture of little amusement... Hagnar and McTendo are as lame as each other.
- mphree, on 10/11/2007, -2/+17They all look the same to me?
/lame joke - LycoLoco, on 10/11/2007, -0/+13Then you've never been drunk.
- otaking, on 10/11/2007, -0/+12Were you drunk?
- pintomp3, on 10/11/2007, -0/+11or he still is. maybe both sides of the equation are still the same for him.
- pintomp3, on 10/11/2007, -1/+10actually, it results in * = urinal. oddly enough, * = bed too.
- bdbr, on 10/11/2007, -0/+7I think the funniest one was in the expanded section:
http://2.content.collegehumor.com/d1/ch6/9/4/collegehumor.70cb6369a1ef2d366e3607a455a1ea3c.jpg
The rest might have applied to me...I really can't remember. - crazybrit, on 10/11/2007, -2/+9Oh my god... can it be? The worst comeback ever! And Hagnar didn't even get insulted. wtf.
- TheSubStylee, on 10/11/2007, -2/+9That ***** is funny. I can relate to almost all of them, is that bad?
- nakani, on 10/11/2007, -0/+7Luckily, someone re-added that info

- encognito, on 10/11/2007, -0/+6Ditto
- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -0/+5hmmm IP localization software? Why the ***** do all those ADs think im from chicago, when i live in CT? the bastards arent even good at trying to rip you off.
- jeranuon, on 10/11/2007, -0/+5Sad but true.
- TrevorBelmont, on 10/11/2007, -0/+5As a tangent to my own tangent, the fact that the automated system characterizes all of the comments as "really interesting" is also insulting to my intelligence.
- specialK16, on 10/11/2007, -0/+4It usually fails... :(
- yoshitomi, on 10/11/2007, -0/+4Are you autistic?

///yay - inactive, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3This is digg - people are amused by very little.
- sexysadie86, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3Lame...Digg's collective sense of humor has gone downhill lately.
- mattcoady, on 10/11/2007, -2/+5What do you say the chances are orientis and hagnar are the same person.
