How about marrying your dog or cat or even a tree, may be an iroko, eucalyptus or oak tree? But in order not to be outdone in the battle of what constitutes an acceptable marriage partner, a Japanese man has gone entirely outside this world of humans to take a wife! By his action, he has taken the craziness called marriage to another level; having made up his mind that homo-sapiens are troubled species and that he will not fall a prey therein? He journeyed to space and found a wife there, and married her; - he settled for a virtual wife? Wonders shall never end; but what is marriage after-all if not a union or a yoke which an unhappy society forces down on its membership so that they will have everybody equally yoked in the stress and sadness of trying to live life through the eyes of another! But who have ever seen a comfortable Siamese twins; talk-less of expecting a utopia of a really happily married couple? Anyway, the mental anguish aside, here now is the real deal. Icheoku loves creative minds and this Japanese is a genius as he married without the concomitant bitching and bickering; and the middle of the night wake up lets talk tantrums? The Japanese gamer known in the virtual world by his e-acronym, 'Sal9000' has tied the knots with a lady he met in cyber-space; - a fantasy wife! He was playing Nintendo DS dating sim 'Love Plus' game when he met and fell in love with a lady-character therein, Nene Anegasaki. He was love-struck by the virtual lady; and decided immediately that his heart has been struck by her proverbial cupid arrow and hence let the marital bliss begin. He proposed to her and bam, a marriage! The wedding ceremony was performed in front of family, friends, relatives and the media who were all very supportive and not judgmental about who their son and friend choose to fall in love and spend the rest of his life with. Icheoku asks, does this e-addict plan to ever consummate such a marriage or did he just want to extend the realm of marriageable partners? Was he deliberately making a statement to those anti same-sex marriage crusaders that everyone should be left to decide who his object of affection should be and permitted to marry same if he/she chooses to? But do you blame him for making such a daring move, somehow meant to raise wow, provoke conversation and possibly give the anti same-sex marriage theocrats a reason to say, "I told you so"; that once the genie is let out of the bottle and same sex people allowed to marry, that no one knows where the stretch of what someone can marry will reach or end. Call it end times signs, weirdo or whatever you like; but marriage is marriage and anyone can and should be allowed to marry whoever or whatever he chooses is the best and least painful way to be killed! As either way, the stress of being permanently yoked with someone or a thing will quickly facilitate your ultimate exit from this world, like it or not. Crazy thoughts; can call it whatever you like, but Icheoku shoots from the hip. And to the newly wed Sal9000 and Nene Anegasaki, Icheoku says, happy married life of less bickering! Salut. Now check out the YouTube video of the event, happy viewing:-
