Hearst Launches 'Cosmo Fake Calls'

Suffering from chronic bad blind date syndrome? Need a better way to escape from the awkward silences and painful convos without hurting the poor guy’s feelings? Well girls, today’s your lucky day.

As part of its digital plan, Hearst has partnered with a company called Moderati to launch something called “Cosmo Fake Calls,” a scripted call-back service that gals can book when they need to escape from a nightmare date. You can choose from different scripts (such as “boyfriend, girlfriend, or fake French lover”) and pick when you want to be saved by the ring, whether it’s five, 15, 30, 60 minutes &#151 or immediately, of course.
