Quote:
A Japanese man has enlisted hundreds of people in a campaign to allow marriages between humans and cartoon characters, saying he feels more at ease in the "two-dimensional world".
Comic books are immensely popular in Japan, with some fictional characters becoming celebrities or even sex symbols. Marriage is meanwhile on the decline as many young Japanese find it difficult to find life partners.
Taichi Takashta launched an online petition aiming for one million signatures to present to the government to establish a law on marriages with cartoon characters.
Within a week he has gathered more than 1,000 signatures through the Internet.
"I am no longer interested in three dimensions. I would even like to become a resident of the two-dimensional world," he wrote.

It's rumored that the character he is attempting the marry is Mikuru from "The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya." Not sure if this is true though.
Here is a website acticle on this.

So what are your thoughts on this? I think it's just....well weird and sad to be honest. I mean come on dude, get with reality. Got to give the man credit at least, hes not afraid to admit this.
