Form an orderly queue...

Read this in hubbys latest Fortean times, but its an old story when I googled it..

quote:
A campaign has been launched in Japan to legally allow comic book-loving humans to marry their favourite fictitious characters. In a reflection of the nation's growing obsession with escaping reality, more than 1,000 people have signed an on-line petition to present to the government to establish a law permitting marriage to comic characters.

Comic books known as "manga", animated "anime" films and on-line virtual reality games have become increasingly popular in Japan, with fictitious characters frequently elevated to celebrity status....

I just don't get how this works exactly. I mean, what's the difference between the people who do it online all the time. I mean would you have to ask for the creator's blessing first?

Sometimes, Japan, I love you, but I just don't get you.

I am just wondering how divorces would be handled in these circumstances, and what about state benefits for married couples? Very Tired

It just doesnt make sense does it? You have to wonder at their state of mind if they think its a plausable suggestion.

FWIW, I can't remember the site, but I think I married a few of the KNT and even a couple of G-Force members for fun one day. Wink

Unless the Japanese government also allows polygamy for fictional characters, I can see some big fights breaking out!

And what happens when a character's series is ended? Does the human "spouse" stay faithful? Or do they get bored and start messing around with another character? What happens if they decide they want to divorce the old character and marry a new one, but their religion (or the old character's) won't allow it?

This is nuts. Confused1

So now we've got "real" people here married to numerous different "fictional" spouses, and "fictional" characters with multiple "real" spouses...

Are we all related to each other now?

Quick, someone make a chart! Confused1
