Japanese Man Marries Video Game Character

[zerocool84]

The Japanese man, who goes by the gaming nickname SAL9000, found himself falling in love at first sight when he saw the pixellated image of Nene Anegasaki in the Nintendo DS "love simulator" Love Plus. Like many other Japanese men playing the popular title, he wooed his sweetheart of choice, taking her out on dates (virtual of course) and softly whispering that he loved her into the Nintendo DS microphone.

He even was able to kiss his virtual sweetheart, once he was in her good graces. In the game this feature literally involved kissing the screen of the Nintendo DS.

However, he took what most players consider digital fauxmance a bit more seriously than most. In a story not unlike that of the indie movie Lars and the Real Girl (which sees the protagonist fall in love with a anatomically-correct doll he ordered online), SAL9000 actually married Nene at a Tokyo marriage pseudoceremony.

While not legally binding by any means, the ceremony proceeded much like a normal wedding, and was broadcast on the internet. Breaking further with tradition, he took his bride on a honeymoon to Guam before the "wedding".

Might have something to do with the fact they got nuked twice, and are now the bitches of the country that nuked them.

I just let out a sigh of relief. After initially reading the thread title, I was afraid I was going to have to change my avatar.

Well, I read the criminal section of Japanese news site for good and sometimes morbid humor.

Like this "Nagoya policemen dress in drag to nab purse snatchers"

When reached for comment, Nintendo representatives reportedly said "Oh my god... is... is that what we have been causing? Why... how... why weren't we ever informed of this? We never KNEW this was the result of our work... we are so sorry. We will shut down immediately."

They can inter-dimensionally marry. It's harder than it looks.
