I went to this link below::

And spotted an error in the E-Harmony ad

[RaceBannon]

Can anyone else spot the error in the picture?

[RaceBannon]

[RaceBannon]

Can you spot the error in this ad?

[traderrob6]

Yea.....married before they were matched

[BibChr]

So... E-Harmony isn't just for single people?

Dan

[RaceBannon]

Well, the ad keeps changing, but that link is where I got it!

[puppets]

Maybe they got married by mistake, then met later?

[SirLurkedalot]

6-month disrepency?

[RaceBannon]

LOL!!

[technomage]

Obviously E-harmony is now using time warp technology.

Ain't technology a wonderful thing!

[Doctor Raoul]

It's that "Pina Colada Song" story thingie. They get married, they both decide to cheat and get matched up in the personals ad.

[traderrob6]

Doesn't say they were married to each other

[SirLurkedalot]

short a "c"

[jigsaw]

LOL! Fall in love for all the right reasons, but perhaps not in this time portal.

[Bob]

Maybe they had each married other people on 2/28/2003 and then got matched up with each other on 8/6/2003?

[steveo]

Married, but not to each other.

[southernnorthcarolina]

Ooh! Ooh! I know! They ended a sentence with a preposition. Obviously, it should have read "I found the person for whom my soul was searching."

Well, that, and the two dates appear to have been reversed.

[NerdDad]

It was one of those arranged marriages. Just took a few months for their parents to get them together.

[ChadGore]

Matched 8/6/2003
Married 2/28/2003
They both married someone else, and use E-Harmony to cheat ?

[Ditter]

I like people who are easily amused. Merry Christmas

[mad_as_he$$]

They did it befoe they were spliced.....

[Lonesome in Massachussets]

"Five monthes after I got married, I found my soulmate on e-harmony-dot-com!"

It's never too late to find true happiness.

[Lonesome in Massachussets]

Are you assuming they were married to each-other in February?

[mad_as_he$$]

WOW missed it the first time. Guy's name is John. The internet time traveler is John Titor.

[RaceBannon]

Ad Here...I think... Yup, link works! :)

[righthand man]

The old saying " What came first the chicken or the egg. "

[RaceBannon]

Now, that was good for a belly laugh! :)

[RaceBannon]

The first child can come anytime...the rest of them take 9 months! :)

[Owl_Eagle]

Boy, I can only hope it works out that well for me.  I got my wife a subscription to e Harmony for Christmas and it's been 3 hours and she's still not talking to me.  At least she quit screaming and crying.

So, Dr. Neil Clark Warren - what have you to say for yourself on this...?

[reg45]

It has been fixed:

It now reads
Matched: 8/6/2003
Married: 2/28/2004

Phooey!

[TRY ONE]

When one is heading Back-to-the-Future and he meets someone going into their past --- it's best to avoid eye contact!

[puppets]

in other news:
You want to explain to me why Google has custom logos for evertything from Ray Charles' b'day to Arbor day but you can't even put up Santa Claus, let alone the Nativity, on Christmas? Wtf is wrong with you idiots? In your effort not to offend anyone you've probably offended about 200 million people. This PC crap really goes too far sometimes.

Merry Christmas, Scroogle.

I have a strange tale to tell about E harmony.

a few months ago, i met a girl at work that interested me. I asked her out but only got her email. So, I asked her out again and she basically said no without saying no if you know what i mean. Well, then I dropped this huge bomb on her, telling her how I felt, basically just stopped short of telling her "I love you". Well, she wigged out on me, castigating me for being so forward and familiar with her. Now she avoids me. I was walking down the hall at work and she saw me, turned around, and went the other way. That hurt. Anyway, I signed up with E-harmony this summer, I didn't pay, just did the free profile. Well, last monday I'm checking my email and guess who they matched..... That's right!!! That girl and I. I was laughin my butt off. What a cosmic joke. So, i copied and pasted the intoduction that Eharmony provides and emailed her with it. I've since learned that she saw the match as well and was pissed about it. Well, i thought it was rather fateful, but she has her mind set against going out with me so i've moved on. I just wanted to share this little story of cosmic humor with y'all. MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!. By the way, i'm transfering from where I work now to a level 1 trauma center in Phoenix in January. I can't wait!!! If that girl wouldn't have said no, and I wouldn't have dropped the bomb and humiliated myself, I would've never pursued that ER gig. Things happen for a reason y'all. It's been a strange end of the year but things are looking up. God Bless

Click here for hilarious E-Harmony ad while it lasts!

If it is fixed, this is the old file then! Here is the original file!

[CMailBag]

I thought it was John McCain..

[twas]

The e-harmony ad I'm looking at says:

Jeannie and Chuck
Matched 1/26/2003
Married 6/28/2003

[NautiNurse]

I've since learned that she saw the match as well and was pissed about it.

Cute story--do you think eHarmony counts this as one in their loss column?

[RaceBannon]

Let's see if we can get them to admit it!

[starvingstudent]

haha, no doubt, she ended communication with me and reason was...."I'd rather not say" ????!!!!!

[gitmogrunt]

Besides the dates being messed up,the woman in the picture is actually extremely overweight,unattractive, deeply in debt, and more bi-polar than Michael Savage.

At least that's been my experience with internet dating.

[knarf]

You don't fall in love ...

Love lifts.

(Anyone can find the date error.)

Merry CHRISTmas, brother.

[Criminal Number 18F]

Yea.....married before they were matched

Could make sense. If they're Muslims -- first cousins, or half-siblings....

d.o.l.

[Thomas Truxtun]

AHA!!!!!!!!!

E-Harmony-gate

Merry Christmas

[Old Professer]

By the way, i'm transfering from where I work now to a level 1 trauma center in Phoenix in January.

Maybe if she follows you, you will get a discount.

[mlbford2]

SHE'S A MAN,,, BABY!!!!!

[KarlInOhio]

They should have read the very fine print in eHarmony's user agreement. It gets its high marriage rate by people clicking on the OK button without reading all the way to the "til death do us part" line.

[DoughtyOne]

I just think it's wonderful that eHarmony is bringing married people together. Since these two didn't meet until five months after they were married, they had obviously both been married on February 28th, to other people.

Let's hear it for eHarmony... ...splitting up marriages, for the right reasons.

All you married folks out there. Click right there.

LOL

Funny.

[Jabba the Nutt]

This proves fate exists. They obviously were made for each other. They married first and found each other second. ;^)
