And an article on the same theme: The whole thing reminds me of that documentary Guys and Dolls. |

old news, and he's not the first one. badum tsch. |

Japan. Where women have to get on separate traincars at rush hour to prevent the threat of "Chikan" or the groping of (often schoolgirl age) females, which has been reported to have affected 60-70% of students. Where "used underwear" vending machines exist. Where men want to fuck effigies of underage cartoon characters. And most weirdly of all: Where sexual organs are censored in both animated and real-life pornography. |

Apparently the phenomenon isn't restricted to Japan only. Here's a korean man having a date with his . |

Which one? Marrying video games, or having pillow cases for girlfriends? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
used vending machines DON'T exist and please do not spread this myth. there is a shop in tokyo which is selling some but no vending machines. and nobody in japan ever heard of them. |

you actually linked the first marriage. this year another guy also married nene from love plus. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|

and those pillows or dakimakuras aren't also that common. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Not that I trust Snopes as the fact bastion, it does state that they did at least And my points were facetious, except for the point about Chikan. |

Two marriages? Once an idea has spread they spread like wildfire. I'm sure we'll see variations on this whole marriage/pillows thing. |
||||||||

Heh, I'm sure the guy got paid by Konami. |
||||||||

it's just that i was in japan for a whole month in june and i realised that most of the stuff about this weird stuff was either existing way back or there were just a few cases. like those capsule hotels for example. i mean they exist, but there are like just a few and really uncommon an expensive. as i said, i actually found a show with used underwear in tokyo and even bought a pair for kicks, so i guess it is a confirmed myth. |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
Of course. As I said, I was being facetious, I could have brought up eroge games in the same breath. These are all subcultures and aren't representative of how much Japanese people really want tentacles up their cunt. Which is a lot. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
i'm just really overreacting after the trip i guess. it's not really like i want to defend the japanese but i guess i was just disapointed at times how many of that weird stuff you hear about japan wasn't particularly true. so i'm lately allergic to this kind o topics on forums :P |

korean man is pregnant!! ok, fun facts about other countries are great, if theyre true. think ive seen the vending machine on telly years ago, maybe theyre rare or long forgotten. on french/german culture channel "arte" i saw a japanese club yesterday. you have to be single to be member and the goal is not to find a relationship or anything. its just a hangout for rejects who dont want to run after love anymore. it sounded like it was quite successfully spreading. not very funny, just wanted to drop it here. |

I don't get why the "pregnant man" was such a shocking story, it's not the first female-to-male pregnancy in the world. |

i wish people would leave him alone . he didn't do it for publicity, he is just a young boy that is learning about love. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
he loves the cock |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oh, but he did do it for publicity: "Both the actual wedding space and the livecasting web site were full on the day of — I'm so happy so many people were able to witness this. There were over 3,000 connections and 7,000 comments made online, and the people who showed up in person at the ceremony also offered their congratulations. It was great." - Sal9000 |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
The man marrying his pillow case is 28 and the man (Nisan) displayed in the article is 37. I can't find the actual age for Sal9000, and I'd suspect that he gets paid by Konami, like dariusgriffin said. But I wouldn't call any of them young as in "(still) learning about love". |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
whow, proved him wrong on every account. maybe these guys write some books after the publicity stunt. |
||||||||
|
|

|

was only kiddin mr acid. learning about love ,marring a pillow and going on world news at a fairground its all just too stupid.......even for my standards. |

I watched the linked YouTube vid on the DS love dude... and I think it's actually quite beautiful. "I love this character; not the machine.", which is really what love is about, anyway. The fact that the superficialities aren't human is a moot point, with regard to love. And the fact that the game never ends...-- he could really be truly happy forever. No fights, no bullshit-- just awesome programming, I suppose. A soldier goes to war, hundreds of years ago, with his wife back at home. The soldier dies within a few days, but the wife does not know and continues to love the husband for years, awaiting his return. The husband's physicality is long gone, but the love remains. Because the love was never about the husband's physicality, per se. So I believe it's totally possible for one to sincerely love a computer program, especially if it's able to give human mental affection. I don't think it's sad that he's in love with a program-- it's sad that computers are able to compete with humans when it comes being loved and showing affection. Or maybe it just shows the simplicity of "the species". As for Japan subculture... I'm pretty sure there's a used underwear vending machine like a 10 minute walk where I am now in Tokyo (at least I saw bloomers). It's in a small room next to a ramen shop and sells sex toys and dvds etc. There's no Japanese law against selling adult stuff in vending machines, but there's a law that states that if the machine breaks, they aren't allowed to repair it (wtf?). And I went to high school in Tokyo and have a lot of Japanese friends, and let me tell you... Japanese subculture is DEEP. I'm sure a lot of "rumored" things you've heard about are totally true. Tokyo is awesome, but also fucked, depending on your perspective. Capsule hotels have been replaced by internet cafes. I'm at one now, and there's always people sleeping here. It's less than $15 US for 8 hours, and less than $25 for 12, so it's a lot cheaper than any hotel. Bathroom |

for an internet forum of nerds it took quite long to take a turn to a.i. discussion. how could an a.i. truely love you? realistically the next step in rubber dolls will probably be personalized and randomized dirty talk. cant wait to hear the ceiling needs a new painting or wrong hole, wrong hole. |
