I think society has reached an all-time low...or people really are crazy these days lol! To each their own,but this is kinda bizarre. What happens if he loses his DS? Does he fill a missing persons report? As much as I think Rayne is hot I'm not going to marry her...besides I'm not gonna get any anyways

Wow, he's a young guy, too...
The concept of marrying a character is, in and of itself, bizarre, but what I find interesting is that he married her in an original red DS "Phat". You'd think he'd have gotten her a better dress for the ceremony.

Wow, I don't get why this would even take place. I wonder what happened with any real women he's associated with, I can only imagine he's either mentally sick or has been shot down many times to stoop to marrying a virtual woman.
What happens if (when) his copy of Love Plus dies? I can't imagine that an insurance company would let someone take out a policy to cover a virtual "wife". Would the guy buy a casket for the cartridge and bury it in the ground with a head stone or cremate the cartridge and keep it's ashes in an urn?

I'm not sure how you qualify someone marrying a bunch of 1's and 0's as being better than gay marriage. At least with gay marriage it involves a real life person but I digress as this devolves into politics and religion which is against board rules. Just confounds me at some peoples reasoning skills

Fk'd up, that's what it is, but it does have a bright side:
if dopey over there stays faithful, at least will not reproduce, and will not burden the world with the existence of another abject moron...of course, assuming he isn't part of the clientèle of some sperm bank...

I think it would be fun to smash his DS in front of him.

I am just baffled by this... I mean, marriage usually means you have to consummate :
?verb (used with object)
1. to bring to a state of perfection; fulfill.
2. to complete (an arrangement, agreement, or the like) by a pledge or the signing of a contract: The company consummated its deal to buy a smaller firm.
3. to complete (the union of a marriage) by the first marital sexual intercourse
Well he has the first 2 down, but the last... 2 out of 3 ain't bad, but that poor DS screen..... Monkey tossing over it, would that even count? Or does he try to insert in the head jack... Surely this will be the blunt of jokes for many weeks.
