Misleading title. He didn't actually break up with his girlfiend, he just wanted to test the service.

I don't think it was misleading. He followed the process just as he would if it were a real breakup. It was an accurate test of what to expect.

...and it was certainly a demonstration of the fact that technology does NOT always improve the quality of life. I don't blame the company for existing because I'm fully aware that there are people who'd want to use such a service. But it's still sad that anyone would actually do so.
