The 1987 spoof movie "Amazon Women on the Moon," had a sketch where Steve Gutenberg tries to date Rosanna Arquette who then uses a service similar to a credit report where his prior dates have posted derogatory information about him -- for example, not calling back after his date had sex with him.  Not a bad bit of foresight for a 1980's film!

I saw that a user had added a reference to the {{w|Tea (app)|Tea app}} in the explanation, which seemed incomplete, so I added additional information. That said, do we feel that it's relevant to mention the Tea app in the explanation, given that the comic predates the app by over a decade? I have no strong feelings either way, but wanted to pose the question here regardless. --[[User:APP6A|APP6A]] ([[User talk:APP6A|talk]]) 04:59, 20 November 2025 (UTC)
