While reading my daily dose of The Boston Globe online today, I saw this article. With thoughts of my own boyfriend coming home from the military soon... I just had to read this. Does this article show that there is now hope for some guys? Or, being from an all-girls school (like I am--Simmons) were you offended that such a thing even came out. Then, I wondered why I was so offended when just last Christmas the department stores were selling a product named Mr. Wonderful. Somehow though, I feel this is different....
'Virtual girlfriend' demands gifts
