If I were to marry a character from Love Plus I'd probably spend the rest of my days getting mods to work on it SOMEHOW and releasing the software to the internet to let others add more items, actions and whatever. I mean, the game can't be varied enough to keep their relationship fresh for several years, can it?
On the other hand, the real-life equivalent of modding the game would probably be to drug or hypnotize your girlfriend, which isn't all too desirable in a regular relationship. I'd serously ask this guy how he thinks about all that!
But indeed, the coverage here was not as prejudiced as expected. Thumbs up.

Yea , he definitely look promising . I saw Bakemonogatari Senjou~!But Japan sure has a lot of extraordinary things happening ^^
Why the heck you would marry a sequence of electrons inside of a copper, gold, and silicon wafer, I have no idea...
I'm sorry, but even looking at myself in the worst otaku light possible, I have to say this man is still more pathetic. ^ and seriously, with a little work he could've probably been happily married...

Heero, consider for a moment that YOU are nothing more than a sequence of electrons inside a synaptic network made out of carbon molecules. If an entity attains sentience, does it really matter what medium it inhabits?
HOLY SHIT
@1:32, YOU CAN SEE GOTCHA FORCE ON THAT SCREEN. HOLY BALLS, I FUCKING LOVED THAT GAME. I CAN'T BELIEVE IT MADE A CAMEO ON A MAJOR NEWS STATION, OMG.
Oh yeah, and some guy married a vidya game, good for him a guess.

I've seen these reports about Japan from CNN before, and I don't particularly care for them. They always seem very biased and often times judgmental and condescending.
Does weird shit happen in Japan? Of course, but if you are one of the millions of people who don't really know about Japan and only get your information in soundbites like this report, then you would think video game character marriages are becoming a major part of the culture rather than an few isolated incidents.
Also, what the hell was with mentioning Second Life - that is more of a western game than a Japanese one, yet they mention "in game avatar marriages" as if it is an exclusively Japanese cultural item.
Kyung Lah did a better job reporting this than a some of the reports I've seen CNN put out regarding Japan, but I still think it has a long way to go from being "neutral and balanced"

This is the first time I have seen and heard Sal9000. He does seem to be a pretty reasonable man, who sometimes understandably doesn't want real companionship.
Of course, results may vary.
