Thread: Gook marries pillow. News at 11.

Lee Jin-gyu fell for his 'dakimakura' - a kind of large, huggable pillow from Japan, often with a picture of a popular anime character printed on the side.

In Lee's case, his beloved pillow has an image of Fate Testarossa, from the 'magical girl' anime series Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha.

Now the 28-year-old otaku (a Japanese term that roughly translates to somewhere between 'obsessive' and 'nerd') has wed the pillow in a special ceremony, after fitting it out with a wedding dress for the service in front of a local priest. Their nuptials were eagerly chronicled by the local media.

Full Story

i guess he's gotta do something until starcraft 2 comes out

the 28-year-old otaku

This would only be WTF-worthy if it were done by anyone besides an otaku.

Also not surprised.

you forgot to mention that you're absolutely obsessed with collecting knick-knacks.


george orwell said that english are anti-intellectual moronically class-conscious, ruled by the stupid, but it's their love of collecting knick-knacks that will save them.

There's an actual latin name for this condition of finding inanimate objects sexually attractive but it's late and I'm not going to bother googling it for you.

that's different. people who fall in love with these pillows and with Real Dolls are falling in love with simulcra of females.

you're talking about people that fall in love with objects that do not resemble humans.

i could've sworn there was a passage in the hypnerotomachia poliphili where the dude has sex with a building, but an internets search does not find it.

there was, however, an ass with a monstrous phallus.



EDIT: oh yay here it is

This erotization of architecture comes to its logical conclusion. In three cases, Poliphilo manages to locate the appropriate orifice through which he can engage in sexual congress with particular buildings. His response, always described at length and in great detail, is sheer coital ecstacy. In one case, the effect on the building is mutual.

yeah in the last case the building "groans" in pleasure.

now that would be different.

in all the cases of objectophilia (or whatever it's called) i've heard of, the object is at least intricate like a piano or big like that cruise ship or a church.

but to fall in love with just a pillow would be interesting...

While all of us will be fruitlessly pining for the opposite (or same lol ghey) sex for years to come until we finally snag one worth settling for, this man has found a way out. I applaud this man. He has realized that the dating game is a rat race and has found a short cut to happiness.

Either that or the chubby guy finally lost it and will experience a major nervous breakdown sometime in the near future.

Marrying a pillow pretty much goes against most gook/chink/nip sexual mores because you can't really rape a pillow.

uh oh
