Damaged goods?

Once again, the internet has proven to be an exhilarating, yet disturbing, place. Once upon a time, the world was filled with lonely men, and women for that matter, who for whatever reason (lack of social skills, financial challenges, morbid obesity) had trouble meeting, and having relationships with, members of the opposite sex. But with the anonymity of online chat rooms, dating sites, webcam porn, etc., things were a bit brighter for all. This also benefited those who may have exhausted the supply of fresh talent in their local dating pool. Say...oh, I don't know, like Dannii Lee Damage.

Mr. Damage, he of Sarah Palin fame, had run out of fresh 'opportunities' in this city (and in the province and country for the most part) years ago. It was getting him down. A rock star ain't a rock star if he's run out of women to take advantage of. At least those who don't have knowledge of his questionable reputation. So, imagine his pleasure in discovering the wonders of Facebook.

He met a sweet young thing in the UK, named Laura, and, oddly for a man of the world, fell for her like he hadn't fallen for a woman in a long time. They corresponded for months, until finally the Toyz were in London for a couple of gigs. Laura made her way to the shows, Damage made his way into her pants and he was smitten. Only when we got home did we see the news that Damage hadn't been Laura's only suitor. No, in fact she'd hooked up with about 50 different guys she'd met through Facebook. Strange since Damage met her through a group called "I Need Sex". Ah Damage, I suppose it's like they say, love is blind. But come on, man...

Online romance, the greatest development of the digital age? Not likely.

Poke you soon...
