Grindr Trolls

Lady Gaga Turns Grindr CEO Joel Simkhai into a Monster — Literally

THE SHOT: Joel Simkhai, founder and CEO of Grindr–the gay sex app for agoraphobics–gets a little carried away on his own profile to promote their Gaga sweepstakes. Want a chance to win an autographed copy of Born This Way on vinyl? All you have to do is “monsterfy” your Grindr profile photo, thereby giving up any hope of getting laid for a week.

Although some users trolling the app may have an innate predisposition for looking monstrous (example 1, example 2, example 3), we are all for efficiently spotting Lady Gaga‘s gay fans and keeping them exactly where they are — 340.4 miles away.
