Sean McGinn of Brooklyn, and lawyers seeking class-action status, say Match.com left canceled profiles up, resulting in “humiliation and disappointment” suffered by paying members who sent love-struck missives to the old accounts. [New York Post, Obscure Store, Eric Turkewitz, Above the Law]

Mmm, in a related story, plaintiffs attorneys filed a class action against “big paper” for the thousands of people who suffer paper cuts each year.
There are rumors they will sue “big lemon juice” next.
I want to sue someone for all the blogs in my bookmarks that are no longer functioning, thus wasting my time.
Can anyone recommend a 1-800 number for an eager attorney?
I could have advised this plaintiff using a quick rule-of-thumb about match.com and averted this costly legal action (could have nipped it in the bud, in other words).
My axiom is thus:
If the girl is half-way attractive, and her pictures are < 5 years old, and she doesn’t live in Sri Lanka, and she does not advertise having been institutionalized, then she it what we call a “ringer” (not really a current member that one could go out with).
I’m amused, because I’ve mentally considered this as a possible class action for a year or two.
