Top Notch Commentary

Those were his words… In all of his nineteen years of wisdom gained from a plethora of life experiences!

Thanks, Drew!

[Jami lightly touches her fist to Drew's chin] You rascal!

So, in a desperate attempt to gain new readers (WTF is wrong with you guys that ARE reading, you’re supposed to make this shit turn viral or something. Damn, yo.), I asked Drew to review my blog. He responded, with the quickness, and obliged me.

As good little boys should…

*ahem*

So here’s what he says:

I have another dating blog for you. Date Wrecks.

Click to view site.

Rhymes with Cake Wrecks. Interesting. Well, I suppose imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. Although aside from the name, this site is nothing like Cake Wrecks. Nor is it much like the last dating blog I reviewed, Dating is Weird. Date Wrecks focuses only on the world of online dating. Their thesis is condensed into a simple equation: Dating + The Internet ♥ Date Wrecks, because “online dating is crazy.” I’m not sure what the heart is supposed to stand for, I think they meant for that to be a subtraction sign or something.

Everyone knows that there a lot of crazy people out there. Even crazy people need love. Where is the best place for crazy people to find love? You guessed it… the internet: uniting crazy people everywhere. This blog takes hundreds of personals and ads of said crazy, strange, creepy people and pools them all into a convenient location. Now everyone can laugh at these poor peoples’ misfortune and social ineptitude. Yay internet!

A few colorful characters…

Keep in mind that these pictures are all taken from the home page of this blog. There are a lot of strange people out there, folks… It’s easy to lose several hours just perusing this blog and becoming enchanted by all of the crazies out there. Let me entice you with a few quotes of these souls searching for love on the internet:

“I would expect sex on the first date if I pay for dinner and everything. Please write back if interested.”

“Although extremely blessed and talented, I am still a very humble man as well…”

“Is it weird for a guy to have a rape fantasy?”

These are but a few of thousands “interesting” tid-bits of actual ads of actual people searching for love. But out of all of them, by far the one I found the most funny was this guy. Funny is truly an understatement in this case. This is just downright unbelievable. I’m not going to say anything else about it, but I recommend you read it… It will make you question everything you ever thought was right with this world.

Let’s get down to the blogging… Needless to say I had a lot of fun reading this blog. It was definitely an enlightening experience. Everyone knows that there are strange people in the world and that strange people use computers, but it never really hits you until you see it in full force. This blog does what it sets out to do amazingly. Great stories and lots of them. For great entertainment value, this blog gets a point.

Commentary is top notch. The author is entertaining and always has something of value to contribute. This blogger will even occasionally treat readers with a funny conversation of the her having a conversation with some of the featured “love-seekers.” For going above and beyond the call of blogging duty, I award this blog another point.

Now let’s cut this blog back a few pegs. The design is sub par. There’s too much clutter on the sidebar. Hm…

Alright, that’s all I have. One thing I appreciate about Date Wrecks is its unique feel. The writing style is personal and often the blogger relates to her own experiences in the posts. In this sense it really keeps the spirit of blogging while not being another boring personal blog. It brings color to the blogosphere.

This blog gets a very creepy 1.5 out of 2 stars.

Subpar design, eh? I’ll let it slide because you have a shaggy teenager’s haircut and your drapes don’t match your um… face carpet. Life is hard enough for you, kid.

HAHA! I kid, I kid.

Thanks for the review, Drew. I think you got everything (less the design jab) spot-on. I don’t have an “AZN” best friend who wants to do my web design for me.

Keep your eyes on Drew’s site, http://www.blogreviewonline.com/ – he might be smarter than we think because he did review http://www.yousuckatcraigslist.com/ which might just be like my Wrecca…
