Man Marries Pillow
Lee Jin-gyu, a Korean, fell in love with a life-sized Japanese body pillow called a "dakimakura". The cute pillow carries the image of a cartoon character Fate Testarossa, from an anime called Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha.
The single 28-year-old man takes his pillow with him everywhere. Infact, he's so crazy that he eventually got married to it. Part of a broader cultural phenomenon, there is a growing subculture of men in Japan who engage in romantic relationships with pillows that have cartoons on them.
It has been found that people who have difficulty in building "real" relationships resort to such acts. Strange are the ways of some men!
