Remember the mean and snarky caption bubbles on Roger Lodge's modern dating thrillogy Blind Date? Remember how badly you wanted to write them?
Well, evil commenters, your cruelest hopes and darkest dreams are about to come true... with BYT's Arranged Marriage Series.
Now you can make fun of brave daters who agree to get set up with a complete stranger (or what passes for one in a city like D.C.) and have their date performance broadcast and assessed across the world wide web.
It's like WaPo's Date Lab meets the Love Connection-a blind date arranged by the readers who then get to break it down in the comment section- creating heroes, villains, and myths in the process.
But before we get to carry out the sacrifice to the Internet Gods, we need to find our virgins- who are hopefully not virgins of course.

Looking for 21+ D.C./ MD/ VA residents of all sexes and persuasions who enjoy having a good time. BYT will spring for the food, drink, entertainment and (hopefully) arrange for a late night hot tub.

You should keep this DC specific. Fuck those MD and VA strap hangers.
No thanks. I don't want to be the laughing stock of the internet.
AIDS
Krizztan! what bee flew up YOUR butt.
I, for one, would love to be the laughing stock of the internet (but i can't go on blind dates cuz the person i'm already dating would prolly be a leeetle sad).
but i think u shdnt take yrself so serious. "krizztan".
just sayin. cuz this sounds real fun.
This sounds spectacular, I'm sure there is a very scientific matching system developed by experts after several hours of drinking that will make these matches last (at least till the awkward/awesome hot tub portion of the date.
