Is True going to send out a press release every time they catch a felon? What about suing married men? They could have their own channel on PR Newswire.

True, the leading scientifically based online relationship service, announced earlier today that it filed a civil lawsuit in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas against a convicted felon and registered sex offender in Florida for misrepresenting his felony status when attempting to access TRUE’s members.

A top five dating site (in terms of traffic) gets millions of visitors a month and only two are convicted felons? If felon/married, then sue, if not felon/married, let through the door. Am I missing something?

They should hire Chris Hansen and do a show called “To Catch a True Predator.” Hansen would sit in his usual spot in a suburban living room in middle America and an endless stream of people would come walking in the door and he would let all of them go. There is a SNL skit in the making.

Don’t get me wrong, of course it’s important to keep people safe on dating sites. It’s the way companies go about it and the hypocrisy involved in the process that bothere me to no end. If you really want to see people get nailed, go watch Cheaters.
