Googling For Prospective Date Unmasks Fugitive

pgrote writes "So you're a guy on the run - you decide to switch towns, put down some roots and start dating again. But if your special new friend happens to be someone who checks her potential dates by searching on Google, you're in trouble. Seems that LaShawn Pettus-Brown was caught by his date's discovery of him on an FBI site of fugitives, even after local Cincinnati news media couldn't find him. Score one for the Internet."

    I wouldn't date anyone who would Google someone before dating them. Why would you want to start things off on that foot? Is she going to be going through your wallet by the second week of the relationship? Demanding the keys to your front door and the passcode to your voicemail by the third week?

    Let these holier-than-though uptight paranoid, condescending bitches do their googling - just keep them the fuck away from me. I date real women.
