On the computer monitor, an online ad shows a worried-looking blonde woman raising her hand, with the text:
ATTRACTIVE LOCAL SINGLES WHO ARE JUST ABSOLUTELY DYING INSIDE WOULD PROBABLY TALK TO YOU AND MAYBE, JUST MAYBE THAT WOULD LEAD TO SOMETHING?

A pink banner ad reads: TAKE ONE TO OLIVE GARDEN TONIGHT

A person sits in front of a computer monitor; only the side of their face and reddish hair is visible at the left edge. A caption above reads: "Is it just me, or have internet sex ads gotten uncomfortably realistic over time?" On the screen is a web ad featuring a nervous-looking blonde woman with her hand raised, captioned: "Attractive local singles who are just absolutely dying inside would probably talk to you and maybe, just maybe that would lead to something?" It parodies hypersexual clickbait dating ads by replacing the come-on with bleak, realistic emotional honesty. Votey: a pink banner ad in the same dating-ad style reads, "Take one to Olive Garden tonight."
