This is what happens when I watch early morning television

If there's one thing I don't like about Fridays, it's that I have a second year Research Methods class at 8:30am. This means I have to wake up at 7am. The stupid class itself is only an hour long and I spend an hour getting to the class and back. Did I mention that it's the only class I have on Fridays? Yeah, told you. Stuuuuuupid.

Anyway, I got home today and I wasn't sleepy anymore so I made some breakfast turned the TV on. First thing I looked at. Rachael Ray. Eugh. On the plus side, she was making waffles with a cool apple/roasted mixture on top I'm going to try to make next week. Her next segment however, made my Friday worse then waking up at 7am to do menial math I'm never going to use. This segment was on wingwomen.

I totally get that valentines day is coming kinda soon, but jesus christ is it an extra slow news day? She's basically promoting this business some pompous turd from New York came up with. It's called wingwomen.com. The website itself is so vague and poorly drawn out it just screams

ESCORT SERVICEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE*

*Sex not included

Basically, they send women with guys to help guys talk to girls, 'cuz you know how hard it is to talk to girls when you live in a city that has over ten million people. The website goes on to explain how women feel more comfortable talking to other women, which is sort-of true - BUT, if this broad is telling me to talk to the awkward flirty guy she is with, it's only going to put up a creepy craigslisty red flag that tells me "HEY, WANNA HOOK UP WITH ME AND THIS GUY?" Or, "Hey, this guy is more socially retarded then the guy next door that collects chickens. He evidently is a total creep so he hired me to trick you into thinking he's totally rad. I am just reassuring you that I'm a bro with a vagina and do not care how safe this guy is. I work for a weirdo who makes a killing on even bigger weirdos."

Essentially the whole concept looks like an overpriced (75 bucks an hour!), vague-poor-taste business project a high schooler would design.

Personally, I don't understand why the guys profiled on all of these networks that did segments for this business just don't call up a group of real, unpaid friends and go out and save himself like 300 bucks plus a whole lot of dignity. Communication isn't that hard.

Cheers!
