Sick of not having a significant other like all of your friends on Facebook? Well, be sick no more, because Cloud Girlfriend is here to save the day.

When Cloud Girlfriend launches, it'll allow a user to define his/her perfect girlfriend, and then the service will create her.

And the real kicker? From http://cloudgirlfriend.com/

"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 thought I wasn't going to make a thread today, but this was just too terrible to not share with you guys.

"So when are you finally going to bring that girlfriend of yours home to meet us?"

"Umm.. uhh.. erm..

...

Y'know, if I wasn't so whacked-out paranoid about my privacy on the web (and didn't think social networking sites were incredibly stupid) or about online scames, I would reserve a spot, just so it could remain unused, forever. But since I won't, well...

Excuse me, I have to go kill a kitten.

That's super creepy....

You'd like to think so, but there's that unshakable feeling in the back of your head where you remember this is humanity we are talking about. Facebook is the "you" for a lot of people. As it is there are some people that lie to their parents about relationships. This is the next logical step to keep up that facade.

Excuse me, I have to go kill a kitten.

What'd the kitten ever do to you? :cold:

:hehe:

I already have the perfect girlfriend. Our facebooks are almost completely independent though.

Does your girlfriend know she has a boyfriend yet?

This is bad.

I don't want to kill the kitten. It's just that...I have to. No choice. Just as you have to breathe, I must do this after something disgusts me so. And this Cloud Girlfriend nauseates me. So...

...If it's reassuring, it'll probably be one of those Persian cats. They're so snooty.

...Excuse me, I have to go pass furious judgement upon those who are responsible for this with a battleaxe.

Not that this has anything to do with what's on Friday..

I mean, this is a horrible thing.

That'd be even worse. Abusing the lonely people on Facebook. They'd probably do a big April Fools Day announcement and post the emails of all the people who signed up. I'd feel really bad for the people who thought it was legit and signed up for whatever reason only to be so publicly ridiculed. I don't think this is a good service, nor like what it stands for, but doing that would be just evil.

Ok, I falsified that testimony, they offered me $100, I heard something about an Applebee's gift card, and I... I...

I'm sorry. :sadvaultboy:

It hasn't launched yet, so specific features aren't nailed down, but the theory is that it would leave messages on your Facebook wall or send texts at key times, or act as a proxy for pictures being posted by someone who is definitely not you trying to put up 'shopped fotos of you and the popular people you hang with.

:confused: ....you've got be kidding.....

I think being a Loner is definitely better than being someone who buys into this.

Wait....

So it's a computer program that poses as your girlfriend and talks to you through facebook or other related sites?

:blink:

Sounds annoying.
