Mean, Genius or Evil Genius: Massive Tinder date

What if you just set up a Tinder date with hundreds of guys at the same place at the same time? This, apparently, is Dating 2018 and some of "What's Trending?" for Tuesday, August 21.

Dating just went next level and we're here to tell you all about it.

First, though, FYI: MTV held the VMAs last night. We decided to use all the letters on WGRZ this morning.

Nothing can quite make you feel like a dinosaur like the Video Music Awards. I decided to share highlights for people who still remember what it's like to use a phone with a cord.

Jennifer Lopez made history becoming the first Latin artist to win the Michael Jackson Vanguard Award. She also performed a medley of her greatest hits while somehow looking younger by the moment.

Madonna was also there for what was a very brief tribute to Aretha Franklin.

She said Franklin changed the course of her life and said, "Thank you Aretha for empowering all of us."

I just have to say this: I'm sure the show was already set before Aretha Franklin died, but I think maybe the Queen of Soul deserved a little more from MTV and the current music community than a quick mention. Some on Twitter agreed and were additionally annoyed saying they thought Madonna was making it all about her.

In conclusion: Get off my lawn.

Another sign of the times: After 100 years, animal crackers are out from behind bars.

Nabisco has redesigned its iconic box. Barnum's Animals are not shown in cages like they used to be, and are now roaming free.

The Ringling Brothers circus took its final bow last year so now they're also reality crackers or something like that.

Finally, this story makes me want to start a game show called "Mean, Genius or Evil Genius?"

A woman duped dozens of men into being part of a mass tinder date in New York City. She told hundreds of guys on the app to meet at the same place, same time. When they got there they realized she was on stage, in Union Square with a DJ.

She said in order to date her that had to meet certain standards and win a competition.

That's one way to do it. They say there's a squirrel for every nut so...good luck, girl!
