A woman in Florida is said to have objectophila, a condition that makes her physically and emotionally attracted to inanimate objects instead of people. In an interview with Metro, she stated that she grew up being attracted to all sorts of objects, from GPS devices, iPods, treadmills etc.

After breaking up with Pierre, her calculator, her love for Tetris grew so strong that she intends to marry her copy once she graduates, with a proper ceremony and her family and friends in attendance.

It started when I would play this game called Smash Run and I would hear the Tetris theme and I thought it was nice. Every time I heard it I would want to play Tetris. All I did was play this game and kept thinking I want to play Tetris.

I think Tetris is so beautiful, he is about perfection and he stimulates your mind. Physically I get that feeling that people in relationships get – that you know they are the right one.

I love him so much and get an immense sense of satisfaction with him. I have a strong connection with him and have invested so much in him.

The full interview is available here.

This would have put you into an Mental Asylum years ago and just goes to show how much delusional and psychotic mental health issues these days makes publicity and everyone is okay about it. Sorry, but I think this woman needs a psychiatrist and therapy sessions to manage this objectophilia, as this is not something to joke about.

...why did this make front page?

To laugh at her? To "start a conversation" about mental health issues? Why?

 

[linuxares]

Not to be like that but does this really count as news worthy? She obviously have a mental disorder/weird fetish. These articles serves nothing than clickbait and then a make fun off/hatestorm.

I don't see a point, it's a gag thread now. The fact that it's front page really goes to show that people are gonna trivialize mental health issues despite the type of community the forum is running..

 

[QCLasky]

It will be funny their honeymoon. Tetris is the right game for this job, it's nothing more than fitting pieces

 

[Ritsuki]

And every day we stray further from God's Light...

Seriously though, I can't understand how the hell we can let people marry objects, but same-sex marriage? "No no no no, that's unatural"

Someone marrying a GAME CARTRIDGE, getting front paged on a GAMING site... Not to laugh at, not to ridicule, not to start a discussion about mental health. This is something that happened, and it has connections to the gaming world. That's all there is to it.

but it won't fit in, how can it fit in ??

 

[Spectral Blizzard]

This got front page?
All these people must be living in Florida!
What us it with Florida, the 80s, and children getting murdered these days?

You know about cartridge adapters, right? /s

So the only reason it was front paged was because of that.
Seems quite sad really.

It's no different from her liking a fucking calculator. But a Tetris cart... Now that makes it interesting.

Sorry, but I don't agree with that statement or decision at all. Just my opinion.

Genuine question, do you feel the same about the news about people with video game addiction dying in front of their console, or the ones that forgot to feed their children?

 

[BORTZ]

This kinda crap happens all the time.

Spoiler: NSFW

That's just inexcusable. Dying due to exhaustion is a serious matter, but can get prevented easily. Not feeding their children though, never heard of that one.

On the other hand, presenting this article and it's stupidity is, well, pointless. It only Sparks unwanted controversial topics.
My personal opinion being that this is inhumane. She shouldn't be marrying a object. An object without emotions, or any form of life. Not only is it disappointing, but also just plain stupid. Honestly, this woman needs some mental aid.

So yes, I don't believe that this article is necessary or for that matter, needs to be on the front page. Especially when the mods clearly say, that it was for the sole reason that she was marrying a Tetris cart. It could've been anything else, and it wouldn't get front page. That just goes to show, that any controversial article, dumb or other, gets featured sometimes.

Why do you think the edge is so messed up? Excessive rubbing.

What happens when that Game breaks?
