Said evidence consists of two Boston-related tweets from the recipe site this morning, including:

Adam, a funnier though more
Adam, a funnier though more disturbing version of this sort of marketing was noted on Wonkette, which linked to some, erp, "very personal services" ads on Boston Craigslist for people who needed some soothing after yesterday.
No link 'cause I'm at work. Anyone interested can trot over to Wonkette.
