Austin Keenan's Crude Vid Choice: "Heartbreak...Even Easier"
by mstrschld

Who is Austin Keenan to choose this as one of the best videos of the week? It mocks the sincere attempts by women to find someone to love via dating services and in particular their gratitude for a new technology that ensures they won't have to deal with alot of men who wouldn't be interested anyway. The ladies post videos and pictures of themselves and alot of guys conclude right away they're not interested. What's wrong with that? The conceit of the video is that these women are pathetic losers humiliating themselves. I know several happy couples who have met online.

This video doesn't belong on Slate except as an article of evidence in a story about misogyny.
