Why lie when they can do it for you?

This is pathetic.

Unfortunately (or fortunately) for most of us, lying, whether it’s little and white or a big fat one, is just not that easy. But now, thanks to a new Illinois-based company called the “Alibi Network” you no longer have to come up with your own excuse when the truth is not preferred.

For a low, guilt-ridden annual fee, they’ll do the dirty work for you.

"We create perception and perpetuate for verification," said Mike DeMarco, marketing director for the Alibi Network. "In other words, we help people lie."

…

Sadly, the Alibi Network reports that most of its business deals are related to a different type of deception. “About 50 percent of our business is related to infidelity,” DeMarco said.

Still, DeMarco said he’s not in the business of making judgments and insists personal morals and other such ethics actually hinder his company’s ability to do its job.

“I think it’s hard inherently for people to lie. I really believe that, I think it’s very difficult for an honest person to say something that’s not factually true,” he said.

But, obviously, that’s not stopping people from paying someone else to say it for them.

This is pathetic.

What a sick, sad world … mind you, it’s always been a sick, sad world.

Reminds me of an old Alfred Hitchcock episode where one of the characters buys an alibi from a guy. Classic episode.
