virtual madi
unfortunately i cannot find the link for this to back it up, but here's the jist of it (this is from the back page of the financial mail today).

there is, in development, a virtual girlfriend for your mobile phone, who, if you do not buy her virtual flowers, chocolates and pay constant attention to her will ignore you completely. Found this mildly ammusing 'cos of the similarity to the GD regular mentioned in the title.

Re: virtual madi
It's like a big bunch of people have sat down at a table and smug with their MIT and Imperial and Cambridge degrees have decided on how to make what is quite possibly the most homosexual thing in the world more faggish and after drinking a gazillion cups of coffee and sweating fear and nervous glances and too much time spent away from home they've come up with the idea of a Mobile Phone Fag Plus with which you can pretend to have a girlfriend and the best part is its all just a game in which you pretend to have a girlfriend and you use your mobile phone to do it and when the meeting breaks up they all have big cheesy grins on their faces and they are patting each other on the back with one hand whilst shaking hands with the other and the laughter is slightly raucous.

Re: virtual madi
Its a Japanese thing. It would ONLY work in Japan, as it costs you a lot of money and you never see any benefit other than her saying she loves you in the phone.

Designed for semi-suicidal japanese kids.

Thanks, but there are already billions of real women who are ignoring me completely.

Heh, the silent treatment only works when the girls can ignore you in person. Especially in public. It gets really annoying.
Not speaking to them via sms would be far far far less annoying.

But to be honest, would you care that your non existant string of computer code fake virtual girlfriend was "ignoring" you.

To be honest that implies some intellegence, which people who'll sign up for this probably will be lacking.


I read a quote about this somewhere, not sure where, that went something like "this may be an ideal option for busy executives who don't have time to invest in a love life at present but want to convey the image that they are as successful with women as they can be with their jobs to employers/colleagues".

Reminded me so much of Hitchhkers Guide To the Galaxy, the 'Mostly Harmless' book when Ford was going through the wallet of his busy executive boss,

Quote:

Photos of someone's wife and family--presumably Harl's, but it was hard to be sure these days. Busy executives often didn't have time for a full-time wife and family and would just rent them for the weekends.

Re: virtual madi
Totally stupid idea. What are they going to think of next.......if you ignore the phone girlfriend she'll block your phone so you can't use it until you grovel to inhumane lengths to a phone operator?
