If you want to pull a "Fool Manti," may I suggest that you consult namorofake.com.br, a Brazilian web site that allows you to buy a fake Facebook girlfriend.

The web site offers four packages, as translated from Portugese into English by Google Translate: "Signifier," "Ex-girlfriend," "Girlfriend" and "Virtual Girlfriend." Here's what Te'o would get:

• "Signifier" would run Te'o $10 for three comments and lasts for three days, just enough for his friends to believe that he once made contact with a Brazilian female.
• "Ex-girlfriend" offers five comments across seven days for $19, maybe enough to convince people that he once had a one night stand... with a woman in Brazil.
• "Girlfriend" offers 10 comments across those same seven days for $39, which isn't much of a girlfriend, but, hey, maybe he could make it work.
• "Virtual girlfriend" will run him a cool $99 with 30 comments for 30 days. The upside here is a public relationship that does actually mimic real life, the downside is that at some point in his life he would have to disclose that he paid $99 for a fake girlfriend. The upside of that, though, is that it's still not as embarrassing as the story behind his first fake girlfriend.
