Kobe Bryant and Vanessa Bryant accidentally have a date arranged for them by AshleyMadison.com

LOS ANGELES, CA — When Kobe Bryant registered for AshleyMadison.com, he didn’t know what he expected to find. However, after an unusual turn of events this week, Bryant was taken completely aback.

Bryant signed up for AshleyMadison.com which is a website that caters exclusively to people seeking to have affairs. After several days he found a number of potential matches, and ultimately, he settled on one vixen; LakerWife2020.

So the pair set an initial meeting and decided to have dinner at an off-the-beaten path Chinese joint where neither of them would be recognized.

“I thought I’d just go on there and check it out,” Kobe Bryant said. “You never know what you’re going to find. I’ve cheated on my wife a lot in the past, but I’ve never really had an affair, you know. So I was really excited about the prospects.”

However, when Bryant showed up, he was surprised to find that the vixen he’d selected was actually his wife, Vanessa Bryant.

“It was weird,” Kobe said. “At first there was a moment of abject panic. Then we both realized what’s going on; after all, ‘Must Love Dogs’ is one of our favorite movies. So we just had a good laugh and then ate some moo shu pork.”

Vanessa was amazed at the odds of this happening.

“When I went in on AshleyMadison.com, I put in my requirements” 6′6 black guy who is a multimillionaire and a pro athlete,” she said. “I got 200 responses, but only 24 of them were in the LA area. What are the odds that Kobe would be one of those two dozen people?”

Kobe said that he had a great time on the impromptu date with his wife.

“Sometimes it takes something insane like that to make you realize how much you love someone,” Bryant said. “I just saw Vanessa and I realized all over again why I fell in love with her in the first place.”

So, will Bryant’s profile be coming down off of AshleyMadison.com?

“Oh, no, no no, heavens no,” Kobe said. “Listen, it’s still something that’s important to me, having an affair. You know the AshleyMadison.com slogan? ‘Life is short, have an affair.’ That’s substantive, deep. I take that seriously, man.”

It’s going to be tough for this sport to sweep any nations, but it’s still pretty frickin’ cool!
