TV at 2am...promoting adultery

So, it's almost 2am and I'm half-sitting, half- lying down on the couch, partially watching TV while preparing promo posts and some other stuff on the computer. In essence, there really is nothing on TV at 2am, but 2 things have caught my attention during the last commercial break.

1. There are a lot of aliens and spirits and scary under the bed, programs- or at least they advertise them more at this late hour. It gives me the hibidibijeevies.

2. My jaw fell a little slack when I saw the advertisement for a company called Ashley Madison which offers online dating services... to people who are already married! They're slogan is "Life is short. Have an affair."

Though I had already heard of the company (a few years ago, there was a huge commotion in Spain because the company used a picture of the Spanish King (along with one of Bush and Clinton) to advertise their business. -Here's the picture of the billboard-) I was shocked.

As a woman in love with love, enamored with romance and HEA's, the idea of a company that promotes adultery...well, not my cup of tea.
 
This is the TV ad, if you'd like a glimpse.:

I'd  love to hear your thoughts! What do you think of the ad? Companies like Ashley Madison? Do you ever watch TV at 2am? Ever see anything interesting?
