“Korean Otaku Marries Anime Body Pillow”
It’s Lars and the Real Girl… only it’s real!
Per the Huffington Post:
Remember that episode of “30 Rock” where James Franco’s character was in love with a pillow? Oh that was so funny. You know, because it was a scripted television show. Not real life. I wouldn’t think that would need such a distinction, but then again, I wouldn’t expect a man in Korea to marry a pillow.
But according to the UK Metro, this is precisely what happened, as Lee Jin-gyu has made a body pillow his bride.
This isn’t the time to go into a “If a man in Korea can marry a pillow, how is gay marriage still…” tirade. This is a time to just let your jaw hit the floor and bask in the ridiculousness of this happening. (Plus, it’s not like he married a Robert Pattinson pillow. That’d be gay. Clearly the guy prefers female pillows, as he printed a busty anime character on the side.)
