After two years, hundreds of conversations and surprisingly few attempts on his life, Chicago comedian Shawn Bowers has finally stopped pretending to be a woman online. But with a safe legal distance behind him, he's back to present the best of the worst from his hit Goldfish Project series, a multimedia showcase of actual conversations, e-mails, texts and photos from years of being undercover as a nice girl named Margie on some of the web's most popular dating sites. The Best of the Goldfish Project is a hilarious tour through the depths of the internet and a shocking look at the things that men will put up with for a shot at a pretty girl.
