The Idea

"free" emails from a virtual girlfriend/etc. The user logs in to the web site and chooses a personality type/photos/etc and the computer system sends fake emails to the person, Although by using the system the user has agreed to accept advertising emails and that new "virtual girlfriend" emails will be sent to the user if they read the email and click on the link in it(points for more emails). The user can open email infront of friends and they will think wooooowoo, he has a stunning attractive girlfriend. The email can be automated where the computer sends emails that are pulled from an achieve of available emails and gaps filled in, such as nick name used in specific locations in email. Also user can have random times for it to be sent or to be sent at specific times, such as during a class (so others dont think he wrote it to him self). Also user can optionally write an email to be used later and can optionally store it in achieve for use by system for sending to other people.

I thought of this idea when I was...

Those annoying advertisements late at night while I am trying to watch tv (Enterprise TV series, etc). They advertise txt messages sent to your mobile from girls. After thinking of this idea, I did search on internet and found the following link: http://news.bbc.co.u.../england/3509169.stm That girl auctioned "emails" on ebay, she had 2,000 people view her auction and only 20 bid. Well, my idea doesn't have users pay for the emails instead they click on email advertisments (or website) to gain points to be used for receiving computer automated emails. Also can have other virtual fake people, such as Gangster, Prime Minister, Queen! etc.

This is unethical, immoral, and some what disturbing. I LOVE IT!

Variants of this have been done, of course, but I can't remember ever seeing this in the past as autogenerated, which allows it to scale.

While this seems quite strange, I can see how it would be useful in so many situations :)
