One would think that today’s dating scene should be a bit different from how it was back in the day. Times change, people change, philosophies on what is culturally acceptable change all the time.

Web Watch has a few stories to tell — we ran into Kevin Smith out in LA, and another time we got to hang out for a few minutes with Carrot Top at an airport while we were waiting for our luggage (he had a few more trunks of stuff than we had. Go figure).
