“The site previously had a ‘breach’ of attractiveness, when several members allegedly gained weight over the Christmas holidays- the story was widely carried in the media though there was no indication people all updated their profiles simultaneously with less attractive pics. The people behind the site are at it again- it’s not really clear whether trolling is their business model, or this is just an elaborate performance art stunt. After they say 30,000 members of sub-par attractiveness were admitted to the site due to a ‘Shrek virus,’ managing editor Greg Hodge made the following comment to the media: “We got suspicious when tens of thousands of new members were accepted over a six-week period, many of whom were no oil painting.”
“We responded immediately, repairing the damage from the ‘Shrek Virus’ and putting every new member back into the rating module for a legitimate and democratic vote. The result is that we have lost over 30,000 recent members.
“We have sincere regret for the unfortunate people who were wrongly admitted to the site and who believed, albeit for a short while, that they were beautiful. It must be a bitter pill to swallow, but better to have had a slice of heaven then never to have tasted it at all.”
Right. You can read a bit more on Sophos on why the stunt- and possibly the site- are probably not entirely straightforward about their motives.”

I don’t really get how this funny. As far as I can tell, these are just average women who decided to post a picture on a dating website. Just because the random bro behind this doesn’t think they’re good enough to jerk off to whatever, doesn’t really make it OK to pretend to show interest in them, then send them MS Paint pictures exaggerating their least attractive features, and then submit them to a site like Buzzfeed. This probably really fucking sucked for these women. It’s strange how so many people were up in arms about the OKCupid Flashmob thing, and teen bullying/suicide… but if you’re deemed unfuckable by some bro’s standards, you deserve this?

I want a Troll Feed, Buzzfeed!

did he get any dates out of it though?

mmm bop, di dap dah wooooo yea e yeaha

Trolling is a art.

Nope. Not funny. Just mean.

This isn’t trolling, it’s bullying. The guy’s not even making fun of them for being on a dating site, he’s making fun of their appearance, something only a piece of shit would do in “real life.” So yeah, funny maybe, but still mean.

Seriously, people, stop saying this is mean… That’s kind of the point.
Online dating is just for people who can’t get a date in real life- they deserve a little humor at their expense. I was cracking up the entire time, and i’m pretty sure even the people saying this is mean were laughing, too. Trolling is funny- GET OVER IT.

So purposely trying to hurt someone’s feelings for no reason is funny? Maybe he should go make fun of some retarded people, that would be hilarious.

What I wish he showed was their reactions to his “art” :P .

That is mean.

Hahaha

This is really evil. But I laughed.
:P

He is a Artist!

HAHAHAHAH Brilliant

Haha I want him to do one of me. I see it as more making fun of the pictures the people have than the actual person.

Don’t like. Taking advantage of trusting people who genuinely want to find a date isn’t cool. The drawings are funny—I giggled—but only out of context, not put beside their actual photos, which exaggerates whatever “flaws” they have and rubs them in the ladies’ faces. *steps off soap box, trips*

LOL!

Hahahaha love it
