Opinions needed

[John Allo]

I just posted a new poll on my wedding directory website. It deals with a South Korean company that rents out people to pretend to be friends of the bride and groom at the reception. Soundsp retty far-fetched, I know, but the owner is doing gangbusters with it!

Anyway, nothing like this exists in the States, but the idea is pretty original.

What's your opinion?

Read the article , then take the poll.

Thanks!

The article says this service is used by people with weak social networks.

I guess so!

How weak would your network have to be to rent a "best friend" and not have everyone else at the wedding wonder why they never met/heard of your best friend.

Renting a set of parents is even stranger, but maybe rented parents would give the DJ less of a PITA than the real parents. [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif[/img]

Here in NYC you wouldn't have to. Just rent a club and keep the doors open to the street. [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tongue.gif[/img]

I'd expect to see a big demand for this on the Pacific rim (West Coast US) where lots of asians reside....

Jim I didn't know you rented friends for your wedding..... [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tongue.gif[/img]

Seriously, I think its a great idea, although, I would almost never refuse money to go to a party [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif[/img]

Hmmm...

Hell, just hire 40 DJs to go to the same party. That's all we do anyway, right???
