Virtual Girlfriends
Some Japanese young men instead of playing games in which they blow up stuff, defeat monsters, and defend the planet earth against an alien threat, are playing a video game with the goal of maintaining a relationship with a virtual girlfriend, and like comic-con caters to sci-fi and comic book geeks, a resort hotel in Japan is catering to these dudes with their virtual girlfriends The resort is called 'Love Plus' Resort, a place where real live young men go for expensive weekends with their virtual girlfriends.
There are plenty of jokes and questions about this. First joke: This is a joke! Is this a joke or what!?
Answer: Not a joke. It's a way for young men to pass time, and for game makers to make money, and for a resort to make money.
More jokes: Can these dudes get a date? Can they get virtual herpes? Why are these dudes spending all this money, going to an expensive resort, playing an expensive game? Don't they know that every man virtually has a girlfriend? It is called his right hand, unless he's a lefty.
