"Gentlemen, Welcome to SaveMyAss."

No, I mean seriously. http://savemyass.com/home actually exists.

Properly, it ought to be savemyassbysendingmysoflowersonasemirandombasis.com, but I suppose that was already taken.

I don't have any real problems with this sort of service, although it does seem to me to be moving in the direction of a hazy ethical area. The first thing it reminded me of, though, was the apparently now-defunct CoincidenceDesign.com, which I remember my friends and I going nuts over (and not in a good way) when we first encountered it in early 2002. (Fortunately, it turns out, that turned out to be more or less a hoax.)

Personally, I'm guessing that he's going to be Italian.
