Back in the day, Matt Shaw and I were working on our fun-to-write but probably less-fun-to-read and even-less-fun-to-watch-had-we-gotten-our-shit-together-and-made-the-movie screenplay for the world’s first yoga action movie where the Cambridge power-yoga studio (led by Baron Baptiste) fought the Brookline power-yoga studio (led by Beryl Bender Birch). The two yoga studios were going to be proxies for our subtle jabs at everything that’s wrong with Cambridge and everything that’s wrong with Brookline, respectively.

But in the end, the two were going to join forces against the evil nazi eugenicists who were funding a dotcom startup (this was circa 2000) called goodgenes.com, which was a dating service for graduates of Ivy League institutions. Unfortunately, we did not make this part up. I mean, we made up the nazi funding part, but not the website, or its somewhat disturbing eugenicist overtones.

Terri pointed this sign out to me on the subway today. Apparently, there is still a demand for this kind of dating service.
