We should have seen this Michael Jackson trouble coming...

Anyone who played his video game in the late 1980's should have had a chilling presentment...

On that note I'm sure that based on some of the womenfolk on my friends list, posting this link could well lead to some badly traumatised lonely teenagers in the future.

that imaginary girlfriend seems cheap - only 20-odd quid for a couple of months? bargain!

[robinbloke.livejournal.com]

It's a bargain!

[davywavy.livejournal.com]

Cheaper than a real one, that's for damn sure.

Seems like you get a better quality of service from the imaginery one, too.

[davywavy.livejournal.com]

Personally, I'm just thinking of some of the people who could sign up to *be* imaginery girlfriends.
I can't stop giggling about it, if truth be told. Those poor lonely boys out there.

[riksowden.livejournal.com]

That was my thought - and cos you're paying surely they have to be nice to you?

[riksowden.livejournal.com]

Well, yes, they're providing a service after all...

[davywavy.livejournal.com]

I wonder if you could pay them to be nasty to you? Or freakish?

"You snivelling worm! Why did I ever hook up with you? If it weren't for those photos I'd never have let you do that thing with the hosepipe."

[robinbloke.livejournal.com]

I sense a whole spinoff series of services...

[davywavy.livejournal.com]

I want a service-oriented girlfriend!

[riksowden.livejournal.com]

actually, i could do with some extra cash... ;)

"Imaginary Stalker"
"Imaginary Dominatrix"
"Imaginary Scullery-maid" (She sends you emails to say she's done the washing-up)
"Imaginary Bag Lady" (Sends cider-scented letters asking for money. If you don't send any she sends her underwear.)
"Imaginary one-night-stand"

[davywavy.livejournal.com]

Oh, and they're all going to reply to *your* picture.

[twicedead.livejournal.com]

It should really be target-oriented, like the NHS

[davywavy.livejournal.com]

Perhaps we could work to reduce the waiting list.

[riksowden.livejournal.com]

mine? or the one i put up...

*giggles*
I love ponies and long walks on the beach...

"Theres something about 'Rik-ina'"

[davywavy.livejournal.com]

Would you send underwear?

[robinbloke.livejournal.com]

Well I imagine that they'll have checkboxes so you can choose what sort of personality defects quirks your imaginary girlfriend has and her favourite shopping subject is.

[riksowden.livejournal.com]

Sure, why not.

[davywavy.livejournal.com]

Shudder.

[riksowden.livejournal.com]

you want some, lover?

The bit that really made me laugh out loud was:

"When the stated time period is over, you can break up with your Imaginary Girlfriend for any reason you wish. She will write you a final letter begging you to take her back. Of course you can continue your "relationship" by renewing, or start over and find a new Imaginary Girlfriend of your choice!"

Its just so.... *wrong* And I think badly traumatised is understating the case hugely. I mean, the people who go for this are the sort who are going to believe that the girl really means what she says, despite the fact his credit card bill proves he paid her to say it...

[davywavy.livejournal.com]

It' one of those idas that I wish I'd thought of; it's a morally bankrupt way to make free money from the sexually frustrated.
I mean, it just has me written all over it.
I would dearly love to see some of the women I know become imaginary girlfriends.

[davywavy.livejournal.com]

Your grey, beer-stained Y-fronts? I think not.

[chrisvenus]

The thing about the "Break up for any reason you want" is that you can dump somebody for sending their space pigs to invade the moon and they have to then write back to you and beg you to be taken back.

You can take these relationships to a whole new surreal level.

Thinking about it are we sure this isn't just a load of comedy stuff? :)

But yeah, this is not quite as good as the crush meme that went around LJ a while back but it is a damn good money making plan.

Ir reminds me also of the service offered by somebody on the internet to arrange a relationship with anybody of your choice. You pay them stackloads and they do such things as find out all her interests, likes, dislikes, etc. and then arrange for a "chance meeting" between the two of you. Get you on adjacent seats on an aeroplane or that kind of thing.

I can't find the site at the moment unfortunately but that looked like a really fun place to work for. :)

actually, i wear boxer shorts...
