Japanese Couple Married by Robot

[are.you.the.god.its.me.vader]

Hopefully they stay all the way in Japan. I dislike robots.

 

[Lazy Kitty]

Great. Next thing we know we're gonna have Robots getting married by Robots!

WHEN WILL IT END!?

First the robots will have to realize that humans have no use at all, because whatever humans can do, robots can do much better.

Then they'll get rid of the humans.

It will end some time later when the robots realize that all these tasks (and therefore their existence) are completely useless.

Seriously, Japan, what the hell? Marraige-bots? Those can't be ordained by any religion.

You don't need a religious figure to get married.

 

[Blue Musician]

Next step: marriage booths.
Then: divorce booths.

And, well, anyone who's watched Futurama knows where it's going to go from there.

We're right on track, people.

HAHAHAHA! I LOL at THAT!

OT: Well, I wouldn't have liked a priest either, so it's not a bad thing. And cheers for the couple.

 

[Bloodstain]

I want to get married by a robot, too!

Sounds awesome to me

 

[Wakefield]

Hey I'd much rather get married by a robot then a priest. Good for them.

 

[RJ Dalton]

They're doing our surgeries... Marrying our people... Washing AND making our cars...

Next, they'll be in our bases, killing our noobs. And probably more practical stuff, but that first.

What are you talking about? Bots are already killing noobs.

True, true... But soon they'll be killing 1337 H4X0r5!1!!!1

Edit: Or, you know, more practical, non-gaming related stuff... Like raising our kids, or governing our countries.

 

[PhoenixBlade]

Cool as long as it doesnt crash, or go rampant and kill everyone in the area.

 

[regallmighty]

OMG I WANT TO DO THAT!!!!!

 

[joshuaayt]

Why not? It's not like marriage really means anything nowadays, or even serves a purpose.
I can't wait until this kind of thing is common, I've always wanted to be able to see the word 'robot' on a daily basis, without being surprised.

Oooh, now that is a scary thought.

 

[swolf]

Um, you can get married by a robot but you can't get one to clean your house? Seriously, when will the day come that I, Robot is a reality (including the auto-pilot cars and excluding the whole turning evil deal)? Seriously...get to it smart people!!! I promise that you will be rich. How many lazy people do you know?

1.) First Robot to Marry a Couple
2.) First Robot Administrative Assistant
3.) First Robot Drill Instructor
4.) First Robot on a Nuclear Submarine
5.) First Robot to launch a nuke at the USA
6.) First Robot to destroy the USA

Gotta give Japan credit, this is the most elaborate revenge scheme ever for what we did in Hiroshima.

WE'RE ON TO YOU JAPAN!

Oooh, now that is a scary thought.

Even scarier is the fact that some people are lazy enough to let that happen. Some would leave their child with a cold and unforgiving robot any day of the week so they could take a break. And one experiment gone awry could make a robot want to become president/prime minister, just because someone programmed them wrong. Who knows what could happen?

Another thought: If robot priests can marry people, how long until Robo-pope?

You don't need a religious figure to get married.

So you can be married by a piece of wood? Or a hamster?

A Sea Captain or Judge is also authorised to, but that doesn't change the fact that Robots are a serious what the fuck japan moment.

Wtf Japan?? Seriously, there's something wrong with those people.

In Japan, the wedding happens at the ward office on paper. It is then followed by a ceremony(often purely 'ceremonial') of this paper wedding. Many couples have a traditional wedding for the folks and a 'fantasy' one (often a white wedding) for the memories.

And I remember some pretty messed up weddings NOT in Japan, which were in Quake, World of Warcraft, Second Life and so on. My friends (oh the shame) had a Matrix wedding - in the same year as the THIRD FILM (yeah, wtf?!) so ...

Robots conducting marriage ceremonies in Japan

...and no one was surprised.

Well, they apparently were, but shouldn't.
