Who's ethically challenged?

Looking to dodge that dreaded family dinner?

Last year the New York Times ran a piece about Cellphone-based alibi clubs with members who will provide excuses for each other. Apparently some Chicago suburbanites saw a business model in it and have launched AlibiNetwork.com. After an annual membership fee of $35, "standard" services are between $10 and $55 per single alibi, more for customized alibis. They provide the fabricated calls, e-mails, documents, and photographs. In addition to alibis and rescue calls, their services include discreet purchasing, privacy protection & anonymity, virtual offices, mail forwarding, and virtual employment. They reportedly have 1,600 clients.
