Japanese Couple Married by Robot

[Arawn.Chernobog]

I can't resist: Domo Arigato Mr.Roboto

Keep it up Japan, you're on the right track! MORE PROGRESS!

 

[Souplex]

More human jobs are being taken by robots and they're ruining the horrible institution of marriage!

 

[Ghostkai]

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.

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

You missed the point there. He brought up that it can't be ordained by a religion, making it seem like thats the problem.

I see the Terminator/iRobot plots in the distant future, I tell you.. DISTANT FUTURE!

And it will all start with Asia.

[Insert obvious Skynet joke here]

Y'know, that thing reminds me of the robot priest in Futurama.

Spoiler: This guy

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?

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 packet

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.

oh i agree entirely, i think we are well capable of producing cars that can interact with one another to produce efficient, safe driving. trouble is it would be expensive to the producers and youd need EVERY motorists co-operation to really make it work (posibly even to the point of replacing every single car)

Your daily does of crazy from our good friends from Japan

 

[Blind Sight]

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

WHEN WILL IT END!?

In a couple years we'll all have to listen Pat Robertson talk about the sin of 'robosexuality' and how 'marriage is between a man and a woman, not an outlet and a plug-in!'

 

[Billion Backs]

Some kind of implied sanctity of marriage is a joke and always has been.

Frankly I can't imagine why some people want some random dude or robot to confirm that yes, they're currently okay with each other and having sex. Aside from obvious financial benefits, which will happen anyways if you live with someone long enough in some countries.

Robots, however, are pretty cool.

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.

Suicide booths FTW! They could make a killing by combining all three.

The future sounds... slightly less than fun, but definitely more efficient.

 

[Jman1236]

No time to hire a priest? There ya go!

 

[ma55ter_fett]

I-FAIRY?

So robots have sexual preferences now?

I don't mind, just as long as they don't shove their "FAIRY" agenda down my throat.

Vanguard_Ex's Rules to Living in the Modern World: No. 56:
If it is something deemed news worthy, and begins with 'Japanese', prepare for a new level of strange.

 

[NiceGurl_14]

Congrats to the newlyweds!

 

[Legendsmith]

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.

Noob: OMG SNIPER BOT IS HAX
(Talking about TF2 here. It was true at once point, but now sniper bots can miss).

 

[LitleWaffle]

...huh

At least the priests will go away! =P
