Quote: | An extremely lonely Japanese man has started a campaign to allow marriages between humans and cartoon characters, saying he feels more at ease in the "two-dimensional world." "I am no longer interested in three dimensions. I would even like to become a resident of the two-dimensional world. However, that seems impossible with present-day technology. Therefore, at the very least, would it be possible to legally authorize marriage with a two-dimensional character?" he wrote. Hundreds of equally isolated people have joined his campaign so far. |
