Slashdot Mirror

On a slight tangent you can always to go http://www.imaginarygirlfriends.com/ maybe they can extend their business line to include social network interactions and yes people do pay for this service... at least i'm guessing... uh yea!!

Now everyone on slashdot can have a girlfriend!

That's okay, I already have all I can afford.

It's not really just another luxury anymore. A lot of people have the same withdrawl when fast food is taken away for two weeks(not to mention chemical withdrawl!). If telephone and IM/Email are taken away. If the stove was taken away. The internet's not new anymore. It's a means of communications, it's a mean of information retrieval. It's not just an extra for a lot of people anymore. I know a lot of people will say Internet is not Human Contact, but it isn't a computer on the other end(well, most of the time). It isn't this exclusive thing only a few geeks know about anymore.

It's not necessairily and addiction, although lots of people have an addiction, but it is a necessity. Ask me what movies are playing and I'm on Yahoo in about a second. If not that, then Movie Phone. I've never, in my life, used the Newspaper to look up movies. It's just a new things, and the way the tide is going.

No, this is the most pathetic thing ever ...

If you type a/s/l they terminate the conversation...

Popup salesperson: Don't despair, you need an imaginary girlfriend. Only $15 to $50 per month. Buy now while stocks last.

Don't knock it until you've tried it. They write to you and send pics and it's awesome.

Damn. From the information page:

"Anyone who has difficulty distinguishing reality from fantasy should NOT use this service."

Why does everyone discriminate against us Canopy employees? Not being able to distinguish fantasy from reality was what their services appealing to begin with.

Guys! I have some kick ass news!

I have a girlfriend!

Don't knock it until you've tried it. They write to you and send pics and it's awesome.

I had been playing those Hentai dating sims - this blows them away!
