So I’ve just finished picking myself up off the floor and am trying to control my giggle fits. I think I can say I have officially seen everything now.

Have you ever wanted to break a date but not know how? Have you ever wanted someone (your significant other) to believe you were out of town or working late so you could partake in some other activity? Well, if you live in Toronto, now you can.

Toronto Alibi is a service that provides “solid alibi solutions that enable our clients to do what they want, when they want, in a discreet, confidential manner. Our service can help prevent short term indiscretions from destroying long term commitments..”

I dove deeper into the site and couldn’t get over what I found. It’s so wrong (in my personal opinion), yet such a brilliant use of technology that I can’t help but wish I’d thought of it first and had no conscience; because I think I’d be rolling in money about now.

Want to tell your significant other you have to go out of town on business, but want to make sure it’s legit? Well use the Hotel and/or Flight/Hotel service and they will email you an itinerary you can share. It will even provide you with a phone number to leave at home so that when your honey calls in, a qualified operator answers the phone with the correct name of the hotel and transfers you to the room (which conveniently gets sent to voicemail). You would then get a text or email message letting you know to call in and check your messages.

The list goes on with call-in sick services, simulated employment, break a date calls and my personal favourite – the “Fake-A-Friend” service.

Our “Virtual Pal” service can be that friend or co-worker that backs up any story you want. An agent from Toronto Alibi can come to your home with fishing gear or golf clubs and make any scenario believable. Your “Virtual Pal” can even call you at pre-determined times with any story you want, from any number you want, in order to add validity to any alibi. “Virtual Pal” ensures that your personal affairs stay private.

After reading that, I had images of customizeable avatars dancing in my head and showing up at my front door.

The caveat for this service though is that “All services provided are within legal limits. Toronto Alibi will not provide alibis for criminal activities.”

With prices starting from just $15 to get a phone call to break a date and fake-a-friends starting at only $75, I can only imagine that this will take off and do quite well. It honestly boggles the moral side of my brain though, that’s for sure. However, my fiance and I are having a whole lot of fun with this. After showing him the site, he lets me know he has to go on a press trip (he’s an automotive journalist) to none other than VEGAS at the end of the month. I’ve already had hours of endless fun teasing him about this. Good thing we have a solid and trusting relationship, or I might develop a case of paranoia.
