The good folks at Urlesque hipped me to this adorable ad for the British version of Match.com, and I had to share it with you guys because it is cuter than a baby dressed like a cuddly wuddly kitty cat. Watch it below, and be prepared to have the tune stuck in your head for days.



Ohmygodtheyaresoadorable! Quirky indie gal's barrette is the awesome! And the song is so sweet. Couple things though:

-- No one's favorite movie is Godfather III. When Francis Ford Coppola stumbles across Godfather III on late-night TV, he shudders and pours himself another glass of his delicious wine. Choosing Godfather III over Godfather or Godfather Part II (unarguably two of the greatest moving pictures of all time) isn't a quirky affectation, it's just plain bad taste. Though I suppose if you did find someone who can sit through Sofia Coppola's performance in Godfather III with you, you should probably just propose to them right then and there.

-- She laughs in her sleep? That's a little creepy. So you're saying if I contact her on Match and we hit it off and end up sleeping together, I'm going to wake up in the middle of the night to her cackling in her sleep like Chucky? One time I had this dream where I had to look after a baby, and the baby kept laughing at me every time I tried to put it down for a nap. I think it was a demon baby. Scariest dream I've ever had.

-- Someone at Match saw the movie Once and basically decided to rip it off. If you haven't seen Once, Netflix it immediately. It's easily the best romantic movie in years, with fantastic music. And it brought a tear to the eye of this jaded nerd.

-- Should a dating website really use a chance public encounter in their advertising? There is an element of randomness to online dating (you and your potential soulmate both decided to join a dating website at the same time), but the goal of Match, OK Cupid, and other dating sites seems to be to eliminate the randomness of dating and narrow the pool down to the choices that suit you best. Which, to me at least, seems like the antithesis of walking into an antique music shop and suddenly improvising a sweet tune with a random stranger. I'm all for online dating, but it should own up to what it is-- a great way of separating the wheat (quality guys) from the chaff (douchebags).   

-- A British person saying "Godfather 3" is so cute, it makes me want to vomit rainbows.
