I very rarely watch television and was appalled when watching it tonight to see a commercial for AshleyMadison.com. It shows a cartoon couple both looking worse for the wear. Then, it shows a real passionate embrace and the voice over says, "This couple is happily married, but not to each other." The commercial ends back with the worn out cartoon couple. Unbelieveable.

A Ho-mercial!

Nothing surprises me anymore. What show were you watching? I would send an email to the network complaining about their encouragement with adultery and you are blocking that show because the commercial is offensive to marriage and family.

You might add that the married couple feels like crap
BECAUSE OF THE AFFAIR
thanks in large part to Ashley Madison, and their network's agreement to promote affairs.
Lucky to be where I am, in a safe place to get marriage-related support.
Recovered.
Happy.

Our new marriage began that day. Not easily, but it did happen.

I saw it, too. It was on BRAVO -- Home of the Housewives of Orange County, NY, Atlanta, DC, New Jersey and -- coming soon -- Beverly Hills.
I enjoy these dramas and Top Chef (of course) but I HATED seeing that commerical and it's cheery jingle and cartoon couples.
Yes, we need to complain. I'm going to the BRAVO site now to see if there is a means to do it on-line.

Here in Canada, the TTC(Toronto Transit Commission) told Ashley Madison that they were not allowed to advertise in their subways and on their buses/streetcars. Ashley Madison actually took them to court. There were many protests against Ashley Madison since the TTC is owned by taxpayers. This happened about a year ago. The man behind Ashley Madison says that he is doing good. He says that there are already people having affairs and he is just making it safer. TURD. All he is doing is making MONEY. Money isn't everything. WHAT A TURD TURD TURD TURD.
