What is the DEAL with singers these days putting dating site ads in their videos? First it was Lady Gaga’s PlentyofFish ad in her total “WTF?” video for the single “Telephone” with Beyonce, and now the King of Autotune is striking back with a wholly awkward video called “Zoosk Girl.”

Listen up, T-Pain, I’m all for making your money and seizing opportunities, but, really? You literally implanted the word into the chorus a couple times to make lord knows how much money and then spent the rest of the song making female Zoosk users sound kinda…well… slutty.

Check out the video above and let us know what you think!

Woo! Awesome to know that women are feeling liberated enough to casually date without the pressure of “waiting till marriage.”

4 out of 5 of them did not use protection.

Well, way to ruin the initial excitement. Ladies, don’t be stupid. Use protection. Always!

The PORN industry blames a recent $74 million decline on dating sites.

Obviously the porn industry is mixing up dating sites with free porn sites… I’ve never met a guy whose online dating site usage in any way curtailed their masturbation. Someone needs to get their facts right.
