Uhh...Games or Politics for this one?

[Zappit]

Why do I ask? Because a man in Japan just married a videogame character from a DS dating sim.

Now that's just a whole new level in sad.

So which state will be the first to allow me to legally marry Lara Croft?

 

[Seraphyn]

Ah marketing stunts, where would we be without you. At least I hope it is that and not for real, because that would be a new low for the moon people.

 

[Fun Size]

You know what's really sad? He has to consummate the marriage using the headphone jack.

You know what's sadder? He can.

They have guys who date stuffed pillows there. With the image of a 12 year old on it. Nothing would surprise me from the Moon People.

...

So every other person with that game is cheating with his wife?

 

[fade]

Don't you love when writers try to sound topical, but end up sounding stupid when they make a way out of date reference?

It's like when your mom tried to use the lingo of the day.

Dibs on Samus!

 

[Soliloquy]

Dibs on Samus!

I've heard it's not all it's cracked up to be.

Uhh... dibs on Rinoa then?

 

[Chibibar]

hmmmm.. a video game character? I would say Lulu from FFX

 

[blotsfan]

I have no problems with this as long as its not a man marrying a male video game character.

 

[Allen who is Quiet]

Now that they're married, does this mean he's going to touch his penis to the screen for the hand-holding and kissing parts? Or was their relationship already to that level?

I'm sure there is a Wii interface where it can get interactive.

[Gurpel]

it is interesting that they are setting a precedent for the equal rights of cybernetic non-persons. japan could be the first country to recognize the basic rights of AIs?

or maybe it is time to bring out the nuclear weapons again and stop this "anime" thing in it's tracks.

 

[ElJuski]

MOON. PEOPLE.

We have similar taste.

 

[Dusty668]

Samus has a lot of issues besides the physical aspects... (Language NSFW)

 

[bhamv3]

Holy wall of text, Batman...

Yah I remember some folks say XKCD is wordy, HAH!

Why? No, really. Why would that all of a sudden be a problem to you?

The wink-smiley suggests this was a joke, possibly in the same sort of completely-missing-the-point way as that 'Oh sweet, Futurama's on!' poster.

If not...

Are/Were those.. rocket boobs?

Actually, no. It's a glitched screenshot from a game called "Real Kanojo" ("Real Girlfriend") via Kotaku
