Match.com is made of... scary

I keep seeing these Match.com commercials on TV, all featuring eerie, utterly inoffensive couples. Blonde people are destined to be with other blonde people. Brunettes are destined to be with other brunettes. Asian people are destined to be with other Asians with the exact same features. They all seem to shop at the same stores.
Besides finding this more than a little creepy eugenics reminiscent, I also keep thinking of this one commercial that I saw one time featuring a guy reading a Penthouse magazine. After a couple of seconds, he sighs and says, "Nope. Still gay." The ad claims that millions of people get rejected from dating sites for reasons like this, but our service likes you just as you are~
That commercial was awesome, and way less creepy. :\
ETA: Aha!
