Some dude in Japan marries a video game character

by John Biggs on November 20, 2009

While I would totally go out with Princess Peach (provided all the parts are really there, and they must be because those Mario Brothers have been after her for years), I find this story to be quite disturbing. A Japanese man married Nene Anegasaki in a church in Guam and is going to be streaming their honeymoon live.

Now this is either a media hoax or proof that Japan’s birth rate will soon drop precipitously but either way I do not want to see this boy’s DS after the consummates the marriage.

“…proof that Japan’s birth rate will soon drop precipitously…”

I thought all Japanese were androgynous anyway. Where’s the sense/purpose in marriage?

This is obviously “life imitating art”, the art in this instance being the William Gibson’s 1995 Sci-Fi novel Idoru, where an American rock star, Rez, announces that he is going to marry Rei Toei, a media star who exists only in virtual reality.
