If animated characters are people, they can be married… The real question is, though: They can only be married to _one person at a time_, it would seem… Tohru Honda is going to have a lot of decisions to make.

(Laura Bailey would get that joke. 😉 )

(I wonder if foreign nationals can get marriage licenses in Australia? Maybe they’ll have to marry Australian characters).

I wonder if this will also apply to cartoons depicting cruelty to animals or violent actions in video games.

I know now not to travel through Australia with my laptop; I could be fined $3,000 just for some of my AMVs.
