From a press release floating around on the WWW today:
SavvyInsider Media Group, LLC, a startup media and entertainment company devoted to the lifestyle of today’s savvy singles, is about to revolutionize single life. The Company announced today the launch of its website, www.SavvyInsider.com, which offers original thinking, an edgy personality, and an experiential brand radically different from the status quo for singles.
We’re not quite sure what an “experiential brand” is– it sounds like some of that warm gas that inflated the dot-com bubble. But, we hopped onto Savvyinsider and prominently displayed on the front page is a photo of the interior of a large (empty) theater with a clickable link that enables visitors to “enter the comedy club.” We clicked on it and found the lovely visage of Jimmy Shubert, a short schedule of upcoming Shubert gigs, the giant version of his bio and links to his site and his email. (Also offered was a clip of Shubert which never did play.)
What is this all about? The press release attempts to clarify things by calling the site a “A groundbreaking and refreshing change from the myopic quest to find a mate to the exclusion of other fulfilling aspects of a single person’s life,” and we’ve always been of the opinion that a night at the comedy club makes a great first date, but we’re not sure how it’ll work online. We’re pleased, however, with the sites attempt to “inject humor to the cerebral stimuli with an innovative comedy showcase featuring the country’s hottest standup comedians.” Having seen Mr. Shubert perform on several occasions (and been wildly entertained, we hasten to add!), we’re not sure if he’s the ideal singles or date night comedian… or is he? It might be that female comedy fans who attend Shubert performances are frequent recipients of riotous oral sex. A disclaimer at the bottom of the page reads:
Disclaimer:Please be aware that SavvyInsider.com in no way represents comics that appear on our site. We are an information site providing comics a chance to be seen by a greater audience. To obtain more information about a comic or to arrange a performance please use the information provided above.
Addendum: Savvyinsider.com does not condone Mr. Shubert’s use of the term “beef curtains” to refer to a particular part of the female anatomy. Bon apetit!
