Too bad it's only in austrailia.

The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission said it had started Federal Court proceedings against Jetplace Pty Ltd, the operator of the website www.redhotpie.com.au.
The consumer watchdog alleged Jetplace engaged in misleading conduct when it created and published fictional dating profiles on its website, which targets single adults.
Jetplace allegedly used the fake profiles to send "flirt" and other messages to registered users.
The company engaged in misleading conduct by giving representations that each profile on the website was created by registered members, the watchdog said.
It said the company had misled people when it said every profile on the website and every message received from a profile provided an opportunity for members to socialise with and potentially meet the member that sent the message, when that was not the case.
