South Korean Man Marries Pillow

[Ban Hammer 13,342]

A South Korean man married a body pillow with a picture of a anime cartoon character on it, Metro.co.uk reported.

The site said Lee Jin-gyu had a ceremony with a local priest and the pillow, which was adorned with a white wedding dress.

Friends said that Lee takes the pillow out to meals -- where he orders a meal for it -- and also to an amusement park.

The site said that the pillow carries an image of Fate Testarossa from Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha.

The groom is 28 years old.

Just think, where will it end!!??

If a man can marry ONE pillow of the opposite sex, surely we can all see the slippery slope here right?

Next thing you know, they'll be allowing gay pillow marriage. Then multiple pillow marriage (polypillow nuptials? )

After that, brother-sister incestuous pillow couplings.

Egads, pillow marriage is a sure societal train wreck. Stop the madness NOW.

Just say NO. Marriage is between one man and one woman. Or one pillow and one pillow. But not man-pillow. Wrong. Just terribly wrong.

That guy is sick and the priest is even worse.

Did they say if the pillow bride is shaped like a doughnut?

what if it's a feather pillow?

I believe that marriage is fundamentally a religious conviction, and that the government has no business regulating the deeply personal relationship between a consenting adult and an inanimate object He might have difficulty, though, talking Korea's tax service into letting him claim deductions for filing as married

It's a remarkably humane method of allowing him to remove himself from the gene pool

Was in South Korea for almost two years and doesn't surprise me at all.

Didn't some Japanese guy recently marry some internet/virtual character?

He's just marrying a pillow, it's not like he's castrating himself.

He's still perfectly capable of conceiving children by messing around behind the back of his pillow-wife and having a love child out of wedlock

Fate Testarossa of all characters?

Geeze.

(Yeah I watch the occasional anime and yes that's all I have to add )
