Splitter-Uppers

I recently came across this extremely interesting and disturbing article about a Japanese business model where actors are hired to come into another person's life (a la Truman Show), flirt with them, have an affair, and document the infidelity in order to then blackmail the individual.

I'm appalled that in a world with so much opportunity for creativity in business, we have people choosing to engage in activities like this. How much better this world could become if everyone focused on bringing people together as opposed to splitting them apart.
