No one's sunk that low yet (as far as I know), but start-up Cloud Girlfriend thinks there's a market opportunity out there among the lonely and unspeakably desperate.
According to ABCNews, for a currently undisclosed fee (the company's in pre-launch mode), Cloud Girlfriend will whip up a sham squeeze to "interact with you publicly on your favorite social network":

Or pretend you have one (wink wink) who is absolutely smokin'!
I'm betting Fuhriman borrowed this idea from the Seinfeld episode where George walked around with a picture of a model in his wallet, giving him entrée into a secret Manhattan nightclub peopled exclusively by beautiful women. And all because George had a photo of his knockout "late" fiancee (who actually was Jerry's girlfriend, Jillian)! Read more about this here..
