Bryce Lane, top left, and L.A. Smith, former Classmates.com employees. The second row is how the pair appear today. Smith is a writer, editor and artist in Bothell; Lane is a Bellevue investment banker.

You knew it! They couldn’t have possibly made a good couple, nor would any normal person have as many as SEVEN little tater tots.

Now the Seattle Times has revealed that the long lost high school lovers are in fact just two random employees at the time. Over 1 billion poor internet visitors have seen the ads.

Rita Spangler, Classmates’s vice president of marketing, says “We were looking for an unusual couple that showed what could happen after high school, and that who you were in high school doesn’t necessarily represent who you are now.” In other words–two huge HS geeks that turned out ok looking later.

Well, Bryce Lane and LA Smith, I’ve got to hand it to you. All of America knows your faces!!
