You should be worried about your health, if you find bestiality okay.

Secondly, yes they were all crossing the line, however, just because they've become okay these days, it still doesn't mean it isn't crossing the line.

Marrying a video game character is crossing the line, and is pathetic.

just as this will inevitably be accepted in the future and we will be looked upon the same as those who suppressed women's right to abortion or divorce etc.

eh...
abortion, divorce, premarital sex, showin' some skin in public... etc... these are all quite a bit different than getting married to a DS. I understand where you're coming from but I couldn't possibly imagine this ever being accepted as a perfectly normal thing to do.
but whatever, I think I've made my point. Do yourself a favor and don't follow in this guys footsteps.

Personally, I have a different take on this.

Ever since the game came out, there has been a sort of "competition" going on to outdo other players. It`s become a bit of a net meme. It started with love letters, moved on to birthday cakes, then birthday shrines, then decorating your whole room, then to real life "dates" (taking it out to eat with you, etc), then pretend weddings, etc etc...

Of course, ALL with huge numbers of pictures, and posted to the same place to try to outdo everyone else and get some notoriety.
I don`t think this "wedding" is really any different. The guy had the money to outdo everyone else. It`s become almost a bit of a sport, really, and is far more social than you`d think at first glance.

The "wedding", regardless of how "real" looking it was made to be is not a real wedding, as you cannot marry inanimate objects. He isn`t married, he`s a single guy who took part in a pretend wedding. And currently he`s the "winner" in the great sport of showing off how much money you`re willing to waste for net notoriety in relation to Love Plus.

That's sad, but hilarious at the same time o_O

Wow...

Now that in itself is sad...

To be so lost in a subject that you wanna outdo everyone else, and take things to whole new level when they don't need to be taken there...Hadn't thought about it that way...

Possible solution: let the government or cellphone companies run matchmaking services.

Isn't that true of everything, though? Whether it is sports, business, art, etc. the desire to outdo everyone else is much more healthy than the opposite.
