Casual Observation #420

It’s comforting that, even in these tough economic times, T.I. is still giving the ladies “Whatever [They] Like.”

My endless quest to discover bizarre things on local news websites has revealed another…bizarre, somewhat awkward thing: a sex-related questionnaire on the front page of Cincinnati.com

Check out cincinnati.com’s homepage as of the late evening on 1/17:

“You may have even had it”?  Thanks for the vote of confidence, Cincinnati.com.

The questionaire itself is no less awkward.

You’ll be asked to answer such penetrating questions as:

- How do you define “hooking up” with someone (in 50 words or less)? (It’s the word limit that makes answering this one difficult.)
- What is the biggest turn-off for you in a potential mate? (Aside from not being Catholic?)
- Where is the best place in town to find a date? (There are single people of legal age in Cincinnati? Don’t most families here still arrange marriages?)
- What constitutes cheating to you (in 50 words or less)? (Is this one of those questions that’s supposed to evoke the “emotional betrayal” response? LAME.)
- Describe your worst sexual experience (in 50 words or less)? (Aside from the impotence that will no doubt arise from merely contemplating the horrifying, disjointed Cincinnati singles scene?)

And so on.

Over/under on how long it takes CCV to respond to this? “What kind of city are we living if my children can’t even get their local news without being corrupted by such vile, lewd discussion of ‘hooking up’ and whatnot?”
