"Cloud Girlfriend" Provides Users With Fake Facebook Mate

[CommanderKirov]

That is just plain sad.

That being said I'm going to go in and try to break the system by creating some bizzare leprechaun drunken nymphomaniac banjo player of a woman. I wonder if that will work.

 

[Caliostro]

This has got to be the saddest and most inconsequential thing I have ever fucking read...

"FUCK YEAH! I CAN NOW BRAG ABOUT A GIRLFRIEND I DON'T HAVE TO PEOPLE THAT DON'T CARE!"

 

[AstylahAthrys]

They need to cater this market to the lonely teenage girl who doesn't have a boyfriend as well. I know for a fact many high school aged girls would take advantage of a service like this.

I'll stick to a real boyfriend, though. Seems less... creepy.

 

[Sovereignty]

Man and society had just begun to creep away from the stigma of being single.

Here it comes again. People having to buy a relationship so their married friends who are completely miserable will get OFF THEIR BACKS about settling down.



Oh... I guess that rant had been festering.

Still this is pretty disgusting.

 

[drunkenduck]

Is it bad im thinking Lars and the real girl?

 

[Susurrus]

This seems really bad to me. Especially as the "girlfriend" would then presumably have to be a friend of the sad person who has created her? Which potentially gives access to information of hundreds of thousands of people?

I mean, I'm serious - one of the privacy settings of facebook is "friend of a friend". Which means that cloud girlfriend can then harvest any information it wants from you, because one of your friends has a HIDDEN fake friend.

Now, I have extremely little information on facebook anyway. And I don't use the friend of a friend setting.. And cloud girlfriend could well be/stay legitimate throughout its existence.. But that doesn't mean it isn't the beginning of a precedent. And that those that follow won't abuse the system.

 

[Roxor]

Just... why?

Population control, perhaps?

Get everyone virtual girlfriends and they won't need to have kids to be happy.

"Due to high demand we are only able to accommodate a limited number of users to the site. Register early to get in line."

I don't even know why I still try to live here.

 

[DTWolfwood]

XD what are they charging for this? there has to be a service fee.

 

[natster43]

This can only end poorly.

 

[matell]

One purpose for the service might be to make the actual mate that users are pining after jealous, and more likely to desire them.

yes, screw communication, understanding and maturity, making others jealous is the answer for the worlds problems...

 

[Flying Dagger]

As weird as this sounds, I can see why you'd do it... if only to end the barrage of "still single // try online dating // hot girls want to meet you!"
considering i asked out a girl just to stop these annoying ads, i can say it's not that weird... is it that much weirder than a girl putting herself as "married" to her best friend just so she can hide her real relationship status?


Though on topic I think this weird guy that I know has made himself a fake girlfriend, considering she has 15 friends and one is me, and I've never met her.

 

[Doctor Insanovic]

fools! stop your complaints! don't you see this is a potential goldmine for humorous abuse of facebook?

 

[Fetzenfisch]

Haha, i will order a girlfriend and a boyfriend, will have them both communicate and breeding the ultimate sentient AI that will take over the world!


seriousmode: Is the market of desperate lonely teens whose computer skills dont suffice to produce a fake profile for their immaginary girlfriend on their own really so big?
Why didnt i had the idea for the service?
2 dollars per week and after two month i charge 2000 for not telling everyone that it is fake muhahahahahahaha!

 

[Someone Depressing]

This looks....Awful....

Who besides Tales of Monkey islands, L4D, HL, MK, Heavy Rain, And Sweet Home fans would need a Fuckin' Virtual Girlfriend because they're too lazy to take a girl out for a Drink or something.

Makes me want to puke....Cocaine....

 

[MadCapMunchkin]

This is...messed up. But there are people that are that desperate I guess...

 

[Mister Benoit]

i would laugh if after a month, she dumps you

Then stalks you and sends emails to all your friends about how much of an ass you are. Afterwards you start receiving phone calls all night long starting from 2:30am and have pizza men show up in droves... AND ALL THEY HAVE IS TUNA PIZZA.

Before you know it your coworkers and friends are asking you why you broke up with your girlfriend and why you were so mean to her.

 

[GamemasterAnthony]

Alright...show of hands. How many people here read the title and thought of either Tifa or Aeris?

Come on, admit it! Several of you thought this! *points dramatically* ADMIT IT!!!

But seriously...what sad empty shell of what could barely pass as a human being would NEED this?

 

[Gabanuka]

Thats sick in sooooooooooo many ways.

 

[fgdfgdgd]

This is just sad. Though, it would be fun to see what outrageous parameters you can set.

I'm going to assume that there will be at least three that go along the lines of

1: Kinky

2: sex fiend

3: public displays of affection.
