Assuming the virus didn’t cause any permanent damage and depending how much time it took to kick out the members who weren’t “approved,” it may’ve all been worth the PR value.

Admittedly it’s a pretty brilliant video. However, did you ever notice that sometimes you date a drop-dead person and after getting to know them, he or she is not physically attractive anymore. On the other hand haven’t you ever met someone who you were not physically attracted to initially, but after getting to know them, you found them physically attractive. Interesting phenomenon, isn’t it?
As one person once said, “Show me a single beautiful woman and I’ll show you a guy who’s tired of sleeping with her.”
