Man marries pillow



I actually saw this story last week, but have been so busy ... I haven't been able to cover it. Apparently in South Korea a man has married his pillow according to the Associated Content.

The article states:

According to the Toronto Sun, the man married a body pillow with a life-size drawing of Fate Testarossa, an anime character. An underground trend has developed of men and boys having relationships with anime body pillows. I suppose that spending eight hours a day on a pillow could cause someone to become emotionally attached, especially if the pillow is a lifelike representation of the anime character.


For those of you that don't know who "Fate Testarossa" (Heh I love plugging LMGTFY) is, let me give you a little background. According to her Wiki Page:

Also known as Fate T. Harlaown (フェイト・T・ハラオウン Feito T Haraoun?) in A's epilogue and StrikerS, is a fictional character in the anime series Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha. She is voiced by Nana Mizuki.

In the first season, Fate is a mage from the Garden of Time, who is sent to collect Jewel Seeds, which puts her at odds with rival Nanoha Takamachi. She is aided on her quest by an animal familiar, a mature dog-woman named Arf, and is at constant odds against her rival Nanoha Takamachi. In the second and third season she works as a TSA officer.




According to the Sankaku Complex there are pictures and more on the story. Quoting:

This of course comes not so long after a man married his DS/Nene, and some time after an otaku petition for the right to wed 2D characters.
Although not an issue ever likely to be taken seriously when dealing with printed cotton sheets, once simulated virtual partners and companion robots become commonplace the matter might become rather more pressing.


This isn't the first time I've heard of the petition to marry 2D characters. Check it out here. Check out this link for more pictures of the Korean spending time with his married pillow.

Do you guys think it should be right to be able to marry 2D characters or inanimate objects?
