love.com
AOL Instant Messenger has been showing animated ads for love.com, a personals site for AIM users. According to this news.com article, love.com will launch in a few weeks.
I noticed this strange HTML on prelaunch love.com:
<select name="gender" value="" class="txtfield2" style=width:80px;>
<option value=""> - Gender -
<option value="monday"> Male
<option value="tuesday"> Female
</select>
Why is male represented by "monday" and female by "tuesday"? Kate Monday and Pat Tuesday were both female.

my first guess would be to give spambots a hard time.

And where’s “other” or “transgendered”?
Geez … how 20th century of them.

Not to mention that HTML is hideous.

Hi, I’m an amature 15 year old PHP programmer and I noticed that this site runs CGI. I understand that you are a ‘Mudder’ as my Scrippsie sister calls you folk. But I think that since you are a Mudder you’d understand that PHP is the way to go with dynamic webpage-ing! I know this sounds a little stupid and I’m aware that it isn’t exactly in a good place for posting but hey, I need to get it through somehow! Well I hope you take this into consideration for your site.
Regards,
Ryan
