Hannity goes for Brokeback (Hannity Has a Dating Service?)
LA Times ^ | 28 November 2006 | Joel Stein

Posted on 11/28/2006 10:38:15 AM PST by shrinkermd

HAVE I EVER wondered what a wonderful world it would be if only my fans could get together, talk about how great I am and fall in love over their joint love for me? Sure, but unlike Fox News commentator Sean Hannity, I haven't done anything about it. At Hannity.com, in addition to enjoying the book club (Newt Gingrich, Jeff Foxworthy), song club (Charlie Daniels Band, Martina McBride), photos (Hannity's Insanity in Phoenix) and comic books ("Liberality for All" is set in 2021 and has a bionic Hannity, G. Gordon Liddy, Oliver North and a man born on Sept. 11, 2001, fighting to save a U.S. controlled by the U.N., including Ambassador Osama bin Laden), visitors can log on to Hannidate.

Conservatives need late-night, out-of-town hookups just as much as liberals. They also, it seems, need some hot man-on-man action. If you pull down the menu on Hannidate, you can select "I am a male, seeking a male." This was surprising because not even eHarmony allows same-sex pairings. Stranger still for a Fox News commentator's site, you can select ZIP Codes in Beverly Hills, Provincetown and San Francisco.

Have you tried 'Morning in America' with Dr. Bill Bennett on KRLA, (before Laura Ingraham) he's decent if you are up at the hour.

It looks like Hanity outsourced the dating service to an existing dating service

I haven't run a packet sniffer yet, but it looks like Hannidate is on the same server as Hannity.com. No outsourcing, just a generic commercial dating package that wasn't customized.

Although you'd think the install for a decent dating package of the caliber that Hannity should buy would have an option for allowing or disallowing same-sex choices. I'm not surprised though, as I've seen huge organizations pay a lot of money for pretty bad software.

Hrm, I can't imagine him using the service when he can get it for free. Then again, you get what you pay for.

Yes, I realize that it is basically his message over some existing software. But tweaking the drop-down selections is about as easy a fix imaginable. He needs to make the second drop-down dependent on the selection in the first drop down.

Bad UI design. If same-sex is not a desirable option, you only need one radio button -- "I am *Male *Female".

Then maybe Sean should have decided that discretion was the better part of valor and skipped the lame-brained Hannidate idea altogether.

He could encourage finding like-minded friends in his forum--the one that was supposed to replace FR, remember?

I feel like he's become the personification of a bad gameshow.

Well, gotta go register for my free car now!

I wonder if Mr. Stein had an alternate article prepared bashing Hannity if he didn't allow a same sex option?

Tell me about it. She is the reason I don't listen to Sean anymore...I just can't understand why he promotes her.

Didn't know Hannity was soft on gay relationships.

Did you suspect Hannity is hard on gay relationships?

Then I sort of heard through the grapevine that Flipper had left the show. So one day I tuned back in for a few and who was Sean calling up to ask to jaw-bone on some ridiculous subject---Flipper!

No thanks. No, I take that back. Just NO! lol

I had no idea Hannity's soft on stool-stuffers.

I never would have suspected he would have been, ahem, hard on "stool-stuffers."

"And, yes you can select that you are a male seeking a male."


I just tried it and this is what you get...

"
No profiles has been found for your query. Please try again."

(P.S. Don't get the wrong idea. This was done as a 'scientific' experiment!)

She produces the John Gambling show now on WABC in the morning. I never understood why Sean felt he needed her to chime in. If he only knew he lost a lot of us as listeners because of it.

Hey, Andrew Sullivan has to find fresh meat somewhere. Hannity's just helping out.
