I saw this ad in the little banner under my Yahoo IM today.

http://fubar.com/

It's "the only online bar and Happy Hour".

It's a dating/social networking site.

WHISKEY
TANGO
FOXTROT

Do people really not know what fubar means?

"Is your dating life Fucked Up Beyond Recognition? Yes? Then I have just the site for you! FUBAR! The only dating site where you're bound to meet *someone* more fucked up than you! Join today!"

What are your influences: Voyage of Discovery edition
