In a shameless attempt at receiving good karma, SFist presents to you this retro-chic Missed Connection.

Three Hayward residents (of course) are sitting in jail facing attempted murder charges after kidnapping and beating a man they met online. The 22-year-old unidentified victim, a San Jose man, had "gone to a Hayward motel to meet a woman after responding to a social networking Web site." (Which site? Who knows. Since they don't flat out mention Craigslist, which MSM loves to do, we're going to call it out as onlinebootycall.com.) According to CBS 5, "When the man arrived at the motel, police say he was beaten by the three suspects. The three then allegedly used the victim's ATM card to get cash, drove him to the Bethany Reservoir and beat him some more. " He was fond the next morning by a fisherman. The three suspects are 28-year-old Rodolfo Aguilar, 32-year-old Salim Ahmed and 20-year-old Lydia Troche. See, this is why online sex hookups just don't work in the heterosexual community. Alas. Update: the online site in question, according to the SJ Merc, was mocospace.com.

Before we post a few festive Valentine's Day events -- you know, fun ones with other lonely single folks; parties that will, hopefully, keep you from taking the final Nestea plunge over the Golden Gate Bridge -- let's commiserate on those who have broken our hearts. For Friday fun, share with us in the comments the most bizarre and/or depressing way in which somebody broke your heart. Or, if you must, how you viciously broke someone else's. And why. Did you do it via text? Did you fire her just so she would breakup with you? Did the crazy bitch slice open an artery in your bathroom? Did you lie and say you were gay?

Society rag Nob Hill Gazette -- who, sadly, let the divine Catherine Bigelow slip through their fingers last year -- came out with its annual list of coke heads and homosexuals. And at least one of them, according to Valleywag, is a wife beater. "Arjun Gupta, a venture capitalist best known for being accused of beating his former wife. A restraining order filed in the case was due to expire next Sunday." (Not all at once, ladies!) Other notables are Anna Alioto (famous name, "environmentalist with a yen for travel," and randy lady); Jeremy Stoppelman, (surprisingly hot) co-founder & CEO of Yelp.com who enjoys dining, dog parks, nightlife & fresh air; Dan Herling, 6' 7" former college basketball player with a presumably humongous penis to tear apart your intestines; and Wilkes Bashford.

Gee, this is rich. At a sci-fi conference in Michigan recently, some gent kindly created a system that allowed women to easily express permission for men to fondle them -- what an altruist! And his remarkable, breathtaking, totally unforeseeable discovery: people feel uncomfortable when they are asked to publicly specify their preferred level of anonymous sexual contact.
