Over the weekend, Owen reported on the marriage of one very lonely guy and his in-game video game character.
BoingBoing’s Lisa Katayama watched the “wedding ceremony” online and reported on what she saw, noting that some who viewed the event wondered aloud if Japan was coming to an end.
I’m not sure about Japan, but I’m pretty sure Sal9000′s bloodline is going to be petering out.

But in all seriousness, this is not new, the obsession with fantasy not the wedding part. Also, if this becomes too serious of a problem, like all governments, the japanese government will step in, somehow.
