the world seems ready for moonit

The world seems to really be ready for moonit to come out soon, if today's NY Post featured article "Outsourcing Love" is any indication.  It's yet another tale of frustration for ladies in this city struggling to find their beaus and resorting to non-traditional means to do so, with this one in particular going as far as to "outsource [her] love life to India," hiring a virtual assistant from Bangalore off any one of GetFriday.com, AskSunday.com or TasksEveryday.com to accomplish the time sensitive task of procuring her soul mate (by Friday).   Armed with viewing hours of Friends and Sex In the City,  the article contributor's appointed virtual pimp Suresh claims to understand the needs of the post-modern NYC bachelorette. Unbelievable as it may seem, he winds up liaising with two eligibles who she feels are more on target than her Chemistry.com results!  The key takeaway from the article is that these high-powered, successful women are all too relieved to have someone like this Suresh take their dating lives out of their hands. This may come off as an anti-fem remark, but they are looking for someone (or something) to tell them what to do rather than undertake the laborious research process required to look into all of their Match and Chemistry results themselves. They are simply too busy to be bothered doing so!
