We shot the display above at an American Apparel in Chinatown. We think the chain should open a "panty bar" where you can order undies with a customized message and have them printed on the spot. Dov Charney, if you use my idea I want a 10% cut.

87% Of Gay Men And 58% Of Lesbians Use The Internet To Find A Partner
That’s the latest count according to Online Personals Watch, the bible of the online dating industry.
Clearly online dating has become the gold standard for meeting in the gay community. Whether to find a quick match, or something more serious, it’s a wide net that can be cast with very little effort.
So what’s the problem? The problem is that almost none of these dating sites do any pre-screening! None! Nada! Zero! Zip!
A new site to the rescue! Guys That Lie.com (www.guysthatlie.com). It’s all about the little things you’d like to know about that guy you just met online. Like -- how old is he really? Is he healthy or a Typhoid Mary? Harvard graduate or jr. high school dropout? Is he really a brilliant brain surgeon -- or a failing door-to-door aluminum siding salesman?
What about money? Has he got it or not? Does he actually own a chic condo on Park Avenue or does he share a sleazy basement apartment with three other losers? And is he really available – or is he cheating on his long-time, live-in partner? And what about a criminal record? Yes or No?
So what to do? The intelligent and safe thing to do is to order an in-depth background check. Ready to lay out a couple of hundred dollars and wait a few weeks for the answers? Probably not.
“And that”, says Crystal Jacquez, managing editor of GuysThat Lie.com “is exactly why we spent over a year building a web site that’s designed to act as a powerful online lie detector.
GuysThat Lie.com, is built atop more than 100 of the most powerful databases on the web. It affords an intense and invasive look into the personal backgrounds of tens of millions of guys – in order to help online daters find out if they’re dealing with a congenital liar or with the real deal.”
Where does the site get its information?
“Well,” continues Jacquez, “if the guy has ever paid taxes, state, local, or federal – If he’s ever paid a gas or electric bill, or a telephone or cell phone bill, or a cable bill -- If he’s ever owned or rented property, including a home or condo, brought or leased a car -- If he’s ever used a credit card or even applied for credit or ever bought anything on credit – Then we’ve got him in one of our databases.
Plus, if he’s ever gone to a college or university, or held down a job -- or if he ever sued anybody or has been sued – If anyone has ever written about him in a blog or on Facebook, MySpace, or Twitter -- If he’s ever been busted, or served time, and, in many cases, if he ever even gotten a traffic ticket – he’s in there somewhere – and you can read all about it – free!”
And what if he’s using a phony name – as tens of thousands of guys online do? Then all those Guys That Lie databases are worthless. Right?
“Wrong!” says Jacquez, “Because a special section of Guys That Lie that is devoted to outing guys who are using phony names, or even just ‘user names’.”
“How difficult is it to use Guys and Lies?” Asks Jacquez. “Actually it has a starkly simple and intuitive interface. There are 33 highly personal questions you can ask about this guy, all on the homepage
Simply click on any question about him that you want answered – Then type in his name – Then click again and get the real story instantly! That’s all there is to it – and it’s free and you don’t even have to register. And those 33 questions answer any and all of the questions posed at the beginning of this news release.”
“In short,” continues Jacquez, “we have in-depth information on this guy unless he’s recently moved here from another galaxy – and we’re working on that one now.”
Guysandlies.com was originally designed to checkout guys who men and women meet on online. “But,” according to Jacquez, “we’re getting a lot of email telling us that its also being widely used to check out friends and relations, neighbors, co-workers, bosses, in-laws, teachers, enemies, people in the news, whoever…"
