I'm not sure if this is meant to go here or Media, but I stumbled across this this morning and thought it would be a fun object for discussion:
A Japanese man has posted an online petition, arguing that Japan should change its laws to allow people to marry comic book characters. Japan, currently, like most countries legally only allows humans to marry. What’s more bizarre about this story is that the online petition has attracted more than 1,000 other wierdos people.
“I am no longer interested in three dimensions. I would even like to become a resident of the two-dimensional world.â€
“However, that seems impossible with present-day technology. Therefore, at the very least, would it be possible to legally authorise marriage with a two-dimensional character?â€
“For a long time I have only been able to fall in love with two-dimensional people and currently I have someone I really love,†one signatory to the petition wrote.
“Even if she is fictional, it is still loving someone. I would like to have legal approval for this system at any cost.â€

Okay, i'm not saying that I agree with this, but please don't post stuff like "OMFG weirdo! Go diezzz!" since it's rude, immature and not needed.
So, Opinions people?
