virtual losers

virtual losers

3G mobile telephones will soon have a Tamagotchi-like virtual girlfriend game.

How sad is that? These things will be equipped with a modicum of artificial intelligence:

"But to keep their companions happy, subscribers will have to send their girlfriends virtual gifts that cost a lot of money and allow them to progress further in the game and unlock new levels."

And what if you don't keep your virtual girlfriend happy? Does she virtually dump you? And would that be considered even more pathetic than being so socially inept as to require a virtual girlfriend in the first place?
