MEDIA RELEASE NOVEMBER 2009

Mistletoe is a thing of the past. It has a tendency to resurface once a year in the plastic variety by the old fat man in your office who has a thing for that red suit that has a slight smell of wee about it.

Getting drunk at the work Christmas party, dancing like MC Hammer, losing a shoe and waking up in bed next to your workmate is also a thing of the past

This Christmas, let Coffee Cupid be the one that puts you into the arms of the cutey you lust over across the office – caffeine is the new love arrow.

Coffee Cupid is your modern day matchmaker and he does it subtly over an easy to use quirky website. The website works by sending an anonymous email to the person you admire inviting them to guess who is crushing on them. Once they have guessed correctly (using a series of clues) you are both sent a pocket voucher to met up with your potential soul mate over a cup of Gravity – paid for by Coffee Cupid.

Even commitment phobes can make use of this website. A free coffee is hardly an investment!

This Christmas hook-up in style with the Coffee Cupid. http://www.thecoffeecupid.com

After all, corporate welfare is always such a blessed thing – its only social welfare that corrodes enterprise and ambition. More>>
