Wedding Betting...

From the guy behind "Overheard in New York" (a cult favorite amongst some of my friends), comes "Wedding Betting" - a delightfully despicable site that lets you predict the nuptial success of unsuspecting lovebirds based entirely on submitted couple photos (a Hot or Not for judging eternal bliss).


Predicting's highly scientific: simply check out the pic and read a brief description ("together since 17", "Russ is a management consultant"), then select whether they'll last "barely past the altar", 1-15 years, or "live happily ever after". After you weigh in, WB displays crowd-sourced probabilities (number of voters, average no. of years 'til predicted split), then displays a photo of another couple, compelling you to judge again, and again, and again, until you turn off your computer and buy a cat. WB also lets you submit couples for judgment, and even link to their wedding site/announcement...
