IDUMP4U.com is Mean But Hilarious

Ana Samways — Mon, 08 Mar 2010 20:47:40 +0000

If being dumped by text seemed a little adolescent, try being dumped by a stranger who your ex has paid. IDUMP4U.com is a thriving online business for Bradley Laborman who charges $10 to be the prick and make the awkward break-up phone call. He then posts the recordings of the calls on YouTube. “I had one guy who couldn’t do it because every time he tried to do it, he’d end up having break-up sex with her and get back together,” he tells the Globe and Mail. Bradley does rub salt in to the wounded, but as Bradley suggests, some folk really don't get the message. And surely it’s a lucky escape to be dumped by someone to chicken shit (or immature) to call it off face to face. Here are a few of his calls. Brittney breaks-up with Clark because "Clark loves to play Farmville™, in fact he kinda loves to play it a little too much. SO much that it has effected his work, school and even his relationship. Well Brittney has decided that since this relationship as withered she needs Bradley to step in and harvest the fields so she can plant a new relationship later....

The Grabaseat Cougar Cheerleader promotion offered women over 35 years old the chance to win tickets to the Wellington Sevens (but insultingly not flights or accommodation). It was criticised by those of us who saw it as insulting and loved by those who just thought we were humourless old cows. Here's how Grabaseat documented their classy promotion...
