Will eHarmony destroy the human race?

November 15th, 2010

Sorry, what? It must be Monday, cause once more I’ve set out to find something good to write about and I found this article.

eHarmony must have hired a new PR firm that’s talked them into being a bit more “wacky”, because otherwise I don’t see how this article could have seen the light of day. “Dr. Tsung Foo of Apple Fertility Clinic, a new app for the iPhone” is claiming that using eHarmony‘s compatibility test to find yourself a partner stands against genetic principles and will therefore ultimately bring about some sort of genetic apocalpyse.

So we are assuming that A. The eHarmony compatibility test is the best thing in the world and works so well that it guarantees you a fairytale marriage for life (see where I’m coming from with the wacky PR angle?)

B. Everyone in the entire world is going to be using eHarmony sooner or later, thus unwittingly destroying the human race.

Oh yeah, I forgot to point out that this is actually from a joke news site. It took me a few minutes to realise this and things were a lot less funny during that time, I can assure you. So can we safely assume it’s some sort of ultra-clever PR stunt? Or is it some sort of weird attempt at sarcasm?

And did anyone remember the fact that eHarmony’s Christian founder may not, in fact, believe in genetic evolutionary theory as we know it? Could make for an interesting debate on the future of man kind…
