Legalize 2D-Real People Marriages! The Telegraph (in the U.K.) has an article about a new push to have the Japanese law allow people to marry their favorite manga, anime, or game character.

Androids and Sex
January 3rd, 2008 AstroNerdBoy Androids and Sex The Houston Chronicle has discovered that by 2050, we’ll have androids that will seem very lifelike and for which one can have sexual relations with. Really? The article mentions the quiet Japanese research into this very thing and I’m thinking, “Wow. Let me think of how many titles I’ve seen or read
