I've heard there's a decline of girls in China so perhaps this will sell? I think it'd work fairly well, especially if they offer "expansion packs" with silicon upgrades or cleavage upgrades that cost a lot. Such an evil way to abuse the antisocial nerd's libido.

That's just low...luckily, we here at HLP would never stoop so low as to buy something like that. We're above that...right guys?

Guys?

[Rictor]

sorry, you were saying something?

 I wasn't listening, you see, its my e-girlfriend's birthday today so I went out and bought her a $50 bunch of e-roses. But she was really happy, she told me that she loves me and sent me some pictures of her sister. I think its was totally worth it.

Oh sorry, I gotta go. She says she needs me to buy her some CDs, and after that I'm going to throw myself into a gaping chasm, cause the two braincells that I have left just concluded that, quite frankly, they're not needed around here, so yeah, my day is pretty much full.

Yea heard about this from a radio yesterday. It sure is evil but most likely quite profitable

according to the radio right now they're trying to decide on how requiring they will code the virtual girl.

Code: [Select]


//virtual girlfriend code v1.1
//copyright (c)  Grabbit & Steale industries

private boolean luv=false;
private int moneySpentByGullibleTwatOfAUser=0;
private final int BREAK_EVEN = 100000000;
//so Steve can buy a merc

public void main(String args[])  {
while(true)  {
   if(luv)
   function.askForPresent();
   else
   function.askForPresent();

   if(luv && (moneySpentByGullibleTwatOfAUser>this.BREAK_EVEN))
    {
       function.flashTits();
       moneySpentByGullibleTwatOfAUser = 0;
       function.askForPresent();
    }
  }
}

Still nothing to say.

But it may be encouraged by the success of a Japanese company that recently created a Boyfriend Arm Pillow - for women who miss being hugged by a man at night.

The product is reportedly a big hit with the ladies.

Some how I find the idea that Japanese women are buying disembodied arms even more worrying than the phone thing.

[aldo_14]

What, like the X-box,er, 'hugging' pillow thing?

[karajorma]

At least that's a whole body. It's the whole disembodyment angle that freaks me out.

It is pretty weird, for people who haven't seen it, here's a pic:



I think it has a vibrating alarm too.

In other news, a new virtual girlfriend program has led to a worldwide string of embarassing but painful electrocution incidents...

...believed to be down to malfunctioning plug-ins

When will people learn that electricity and bodily fluids don't mix.

When they burn their genitals.  It's natures way.

'The company has plans to introduce a virtual boyfriend for women, although it remains to be seen how it will persuade them to spend extra money on the game.'

[phreak]

i thought it was easy to persuade women to spend money.

[Rictor]

not their own.

[Flipside]

A thought occurs.....

Why would men pay to have a 'girlfriend' which is not only more demanding financially, but also cannot perform oral sex?

It makes no point whatsoever?

[Ford Prefect]

That's what I was thinking. I figured many men might take a quick glance around to make sure no one's watching, then take the old floppy drive for a spin.
