Japanese Couple Married by Robot
- Thread starter Logan Westbrook

Not after the Quake, WOW, Second LIfe, Matrix, Starwars, Star Trek, Cinderella, etc weddings that grace the newspapers and magazines in Western countries ...Voodoomancer said:
Or, you can see the concept of a 'wedding' outside of a Christian-like context. As I said, this ceremony was not the true union of this couple. It was an expression of themselves on their most special day. I see nothing wrong with that.Abedeus said:
Their legal wedding was most likely done at their local ward office months before this ceremony. There was most likely a smaller traditional ceremony before or after this robot one. Once again, news about Japan gets written up as what foreign fanboys DREAM Japan is, rather than what it actually is.
I cringe at every one of these articles because it really paints a skewed picture, and Japan is no 'weirder' than a few out-of-context Seinfeild episodes, ten seconds of Southpark and a cross section of 'special interest' articles from a few newspapers, would make the USA seem.
That robot looked a bit like the aliens from Independence Day to me, just without the gigantic head. This story could have been much better if they said that two ED-209s were the ushers.
Maybe this isn't quite a step towards the robot uprising, more like a move towards creating a real-life version of the movie West World. Or maybe just the Jetsons?

It was only ever a matter of time, and anyone who thought japan wouldnt be the first was deluding themselves
well, the act of marrying two people is relatively simple, its just a simple script to follow. it'll take some time before robots are able to tell the difference between a newborn kitty and a dropped crisp packetswolf said:
True. I just find it interesting that cars have GPS's, alarms that let you know if a lane is occupied, and can parallel park...so why can't they just drive themselves the rest of the time? I mean, the "driver" could still take over if they want but I think the machine could drive better than most people, especially those texting, putting on makeup, and getting dressed all at the same time while drunk. Especially if everybody used it.interspark said:

I love that story, my wife wouldn't let me pick the minister for our wedding after I kept asking for Elvis from the Heart of Graceland chapel in Vegas. I doubt she would have gone for this either but I could have tried.
Legally in the US you are married after filing all the paperwork at the courthouse, the religious ceremony means nothing (unless you are a religious person). We only had a ceremony so we could:
A) Have a party with our friends and family.
B) Get gifts.
C) Shut my mother-in-law right the hell up.
You could have your ceremony performed by a robot, a tape recoorder, a limpet or even a wedge of swiss cheese genetically spliced with a beard and a piece of chalk.

ROBOT LOVE! Just one more step in creating the race of Robots, who will then try to kill us all.
I wonder how much money one could make from owning and operating a marriage bot, I imagine it pulls in at least Red Box money.
First, we will replace your priests, become the Pope, and RULE THE WORLD! MUHAHAHAHA...
Ummm... I mean, do you take this woman as your lawfully wedded wife?
