23 July 1998 - Mike and Diane

Jay Scott : Daily Whale : archive : 1998 : 23 July 1998

Interviewer: Tell me, kids, why is it that you chose to lose your sanity online rather than in the privacy of a techno rave like most young couples?

Mike: You know, it’s like this. I was kinda thinkin’ monster truck rally, but you know, Diane would freak. And you know, she’s just so special to me.

Diane: And I wanted to go nuts at Chuck E. Cheese’s. The web was like a compromise, you know? Something we could both agree on.

clue:

For the two or three of you who missed the brouhaha, the “real” Mike and Diane were at first advertised as 18-year-olds planning to lose their virginity online.

Chuck E. Cheese’s is a restaurant geared for children.

take oh take this clue away
