What is the resort name again? The hairy palms?

That's just plain weird. What happened to you, Japan? You used to be cool.

Looks like that scene in big Arnie film The Sixth Day will soon be coming true.

Now the obsession has reached a new level of "wow-ness," as IT Media News (via Boingboing) reports that a man will officially marry his virtual Love Plus girlfriend this coming Sunday (before Cyber Monday). Known only as SAL9000, the obsessed gamer fell in love with Nene Anegaski, unofficially married the virtual chick, and even took her to Guam for the honeymoon.

Of course, because she isn't...well... real, this meant he took the Nintendo DS to Guam. During the trip, he used the video-sharing site Nico Nico Douga to livecast the honeymoon, and also documented the trip by using the augmented reality iPhone app Sekai Camera. There was no word on how the couple managed to get through the first night of the honeymoon.

15 years ago, Japan was the center of everything that was hip and new. The latest popular trends, cutting edge of technology an innovation all came from there. Japan was like The Fonz from Happy Days: All the girls wanted to date him and all the guys wanted to be him. That mantle has now passed to South Korea. Japan has become that creepy uncle with the school girl fetish.

Fantasy is a much nicer world than reality, can you blame them?
