    People, don't be mean, I have friends and I still think an artificial friend would be freakin'awesome!

    It would keep secrets and do anything you want with you.

    no. it sounds nerdy as hell. but most of all, it means one lacks enough social skills to be able to get real friends. most of all, its like world of warcraft. it might be fun to some...but wont get you laid.....
