The dating website for adulterous affairs is planning to float in London. Here are all the dirty details Ashley Madison.
Q: Is that some kind of shoe designer?
A sensible guess, but definitely wrong. Ashley Madison is a dating website aimed at people who are already married. The service brands itself as discreet, and simply picked two popular American girls names as the company name.
Q: Wait, so theyre a dating service for adultery? Isnt that immoral?
The company motto is: Life is short. Have an affair. The website offers affair guidelines, with advice on how to cover your tracks.
Q: So yes, its immoral.
In its defence, the chief executive Noel Biderman says that someone wouldnt go to Ashley Madison unless they were already planning on having an affair. The website simply means that they wont cheat with a colleague or close friend. We should see the company as a safe alternative, he says.

How come I get the feeling it is a mass blackmail generator?

I imagine the founder must have pretty strong security. Talk about playing with fire.

Judging by the number of old girlfriends who can hunt you down, I thought that's what Facebook was trying to do.
No, just no.

Strictly as a business model, it has promise if it works as you say. Lust for entry, blackmail for retention.

Perhaps the figures will persuade you. Ashley Madison made $115m (£77m) last year and is worth $1bn (£670m). The company aims to raise $200m (£135m) from an initial public offering, which it will use to expand internationally. Follow the money...it always leads to evil.

How far we’ve fallen. In Genesis 20 Abimelech is horrified over an act of adultery that never happened. Today you are considered odd if you’ve never cheated.

I guess commitment and monogamy are passe.
Open marriage and swinging are in.

As an indication of how legit they are, you can see them in ad pop ups on porn sites.
There you have their target audience.

Why would any one take that risk?
There’s no accounting for taste in this country.

There was an NCIS program with that exact plot.
