Coincidence Design

“You’ve found success; you drive an expensive car, own a mansion, and have money to burn. On top of all this, you’re fairly young, you work out, and can make witty remarks … ” But you just can’t find that certain someone. Gosh darn it, so why not hire a professional for the hookup? For approximately $78K, this Chicago-based company promises that it will research (for $8K, you can find out if she’s a kleptomaniac, junkie, “kitchen drinker” or “Fatal Attraction-type psycho”), investigate ($45K gets you answers to such questions as: “How has she benefited from her attractiveness, and how has she suffered?”), and will “suggest a setting and a context” with the intended, uh, victim, for an additional $25K. If you’re a guy who’s loaded with dough but you still can’t find your “dream wife,” there may be hope yet. That is, unless this is a parody Web site, which it could very well be. It’s creepy, nonetheless.
