Great news for those hankering for a fake online girlfriend. Cloud Girlfriend.com is preparing to launch a service which lets you design your perfect match then simulates her existence by using an attractive avatar to post messages on your Facebook page.
Splendid, just…splendid. I can’t imagine anything more helpful than generating a gigantic fraud in the middle of a lonely person’s life.
There is pseudo- socio-relationship theory behind the scheme. Cloud Girlfriend’s tagline is “The best way to get a girlfriend is to already have one.”
Ah yes, appeal to the lowest of human instincts. I enjoyed watching presenters on the TYT Network trying to promote Cloud Girlfriend as a good idea:
A part of me suspects that this is a fraud created by someone in the same line of work as Chris Atkins. Earlier this year, Atkins decided to test the churn factor in the media by releasing fake stories including one about a chastity garter.
