Japanese Couple Married by Robot
- Thread starter Logan Westbrook

Ok, so from a religion standpoint, yeah it can't possibly be binding... Yet.
From a legal standpoint... It's not as tricky but I doubt even Japan have reached the point where they'd comfortably hand over legal authority to a robot...
So was this just a show wedding?
I'm aware that in Japan it's handled by paperwork and this could all be just for show, but why is it not addressed in either article?
There's just not any real way this could be completely binding, it's a ceremony certainly, but a real, binding wedding I doubt.
Kudos to the couple though for embracing not only their mutual interests during their special day, but also THE FUTURE!

lol ... People wonder why we have such a blase attitude towards romantic relationships in this day and age. Marriage by robot. Well I guess it's kinda cool. It will atleast be a cool story to tell the kids one day and I suppose that's what is most important anyways.
Zani is an awesome name for a God. We might just have to expand this idea.Zani said:
OT:
This is cool enough. Once the Church of Zaniism gets a'rollin' maybe this will get more common.
Oh ho ho ho, you.oppp7 said:
I want a robot that can cook a goddamn steak right at Outback Steakhouse. I was there a few days ago and they gave me a rare when I ordered medium-rare! Maybe it wasn't the cooks fault. In that case, I purpose they have invent a pimp slapping robot to keep the waiters in check and not f%ck up my orders.
Yes, kudos to them!Archemetis said:
And it's probably not mentioned in either article because if it were, there would be fewer opportunities to reinforce that Japan is a 'craaaaaaaaazy land'. Such simple facts and contexts are not mentioned just like every other time that 'journalists' fail to state that the 'crazy looney invention' was from a modern art exhibit, that the 'super insane TV show' was from a bunch of notorious comedians, that the 'geek man to anime character wedding' was just pure eccentricity and publicity, and so on. This wedding is no different than the videogame, movie, and genre themed weddings in the USA, UK etc. It is certainly no different than the 'in-game engine' gamer weddings you see from time to time. They are just for the fantasy, obviously. People just want to express themselves on their 'happiest of days'. Like you said, good for them.
I just dislike people that say things like 'Only in Japan' for every bit of news purpously reported for the 'weird' factor. After almost a decade here, I can tell you that Japan is no weirder than a sample of disembodied TV commercials, TV shows and news articles could make my home country of Australia look.
What religion allows this exactly? Or is it just the legal part of a marriage with no religion involved? Anyways it's... weird, but I've seen far stranger from Japan.
Robot weddings? thats just one more step to towards them taking charge! Thats it i'm starting my anti-robot society.

you could do that... but Aperature Science will sue you into the ground... or maybe just flood your house with deadly nuero-toxin.SuccessAndBiscuts said:
Ah you miss the point here. The souless godless robots unfealing eyes peer deep into the couple. Unclouded by emotion its cold calculating judgement determines the likelyhood of a successful marriage. If it determines success rating is too low, it executes them with 10 terrajoule Gamma-Ray Lasers. If you look closely you'll note they're mounted in the eyes and angled for optimum spread both through the couple and the witnesses. Afterwards the site is nuked from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.Kenjitsuka said:Congratulations newly weds!
I wonder if T-600 Terminators also have a holy-matrimony subroutine?
Lol, and THAT's just version 1.0!hyperdrachen said:
Version 2.0 is rumored to have gene splicing as an option so the children born will generate more electricity for the Matrix. We'll know more about 2.0 after Evil Corp's E3 speech in a few days
