Pardon Our Man's French, but What the fuck was that? Oh, it was only the AP lead story on the Drudge Report - AKA Let's Laugh at the Japs. But really, Japan, you do make it difficult for folk who like you to stick up for you at parties. Maybe it ain't so silly to replace the mumbo jumbo stick-waving skirt-wearing dude (Vicar? - ed.) with a robot, let's face it Japanese weddings are tedious, but come on.
Look at it!
Would you like to be married by Daihatsu Darlek, no matter how cute the garland on its head? OK, OK, marriage is a business and not a romance for the Japanese, so the experts (a bloke at Harvard who once came on a freebie conference to Tokyo back in '74) keep saying, but Our Man refuses to let his flesh and blood be married by a recycled coffee tin, much less one called I-Fairy.
Speaking of business, may Our Man get down to it now?
No-one (even in Japan) not on the I-Fairy payroll is going to fall for this blatant news-release-corporate-advertising-stereotype-confirming bollocks are they?
Well, no-one except for news sub-editors, obviously.

and foaming at the sides of the mouth expat bloggers.........
yours in foam(it makes the world a better palce)
Skipped (or rather, "saved for a later date").
I love a blog on which the comments are better than the posts.
Well, there's no place like foam, DK.
OurMan notes with interest the Japan Times passed on the story, taking the high road, LL CoolZen.
Indeed Roberto, but we have learnt to humour DK at Our Man Times, if you rile him up he only writes more (in tongues).
No comment from me, other than that the groom above sits in the next room over at work and is a collaborator in my current research project.
Robot divorce lawyers, that's where the smart money's at.

by the way Janne,you can tell her from me
'I would'
Hmmm. Spoke too soon, seems Japan Times did carry the story, er, regurgitated it word for word on today's page 2.
Repeat after Our Man: A dollar short and a day late.

Roberto, see what I mean about DK?
My apologies, I went out of my way to make fun of the story/photos to the Captain Oblivious -- aka the domestic chief. Apparently he didn't get the message.
At least fate intervened and prevented it from making the front. Like the Yom.
Well, it is kinda funny. Gettin hitched by a robot. There's a vid of it doing the rounds too, but couldn't be bothered searching for the link.
three days,no posts,are the rats nibbling at the edge of the cage?
Sorry your grace. Did take a pic the other day, might make a story, though unlikely to get carried by Drudge. Maybe Our Man could robotize it and some kookie looking foreigners and... Oh wait Our Man is the alien. Oh, so confused.
'confused'?
dude there's a medical term for it and it normally involves someone being paid to wipe your bottom cos you forget to.
