“Sal9000″ not only married a virtual character – a female character from the dating simulation game ‘Love Plus’ – he had a ceremony with 40 people present, which he broadcast on the internet. He figured why not since he was calling her his wife: “We decided we had to have a wedding”. He vowed to forsake humans and “updates” of his wife’s character.
If more people would find ways of expressing themselves like this, I think it would make society more interesting.
