The Woman Who Married the Eiffel Tower

Remember the Neatorama post about a woman who married the Berlin Wall? Well, it turns out that she's not the only one. Here's a story about a woman who married the Eiffel Tower:

Erika La Tour Eiffel, 37, a former soldier who lives in San Francisco, has been in love with objects before. Her first infatuation was with Lance, a bow that helped her to become a world-class archer, she is fond of the Berlin Wall and she claims to have a physical relationship with a piece of fence she keeps in her bedroom.

But it is the Eiffel Tower she has pledged to love, honour and obey in an intimate ceremony attended by a handful of friends.

She has changed her name legally to reflect the bond.

This is obviously some sort of mental disorder, and if you read the attached article, it kind of makes sense (in an odd sort of way). It's apparently a control thing. Well, think about it. An inanimate object can never talk back or hurt your feelings (but if it does, that's probably a sign of some other mental disorder)!

Allowing gay marriage will not open the door to allowing other forms of unconventional, and even twisted "marriage". I wish people would let go of that stupid idea that they use as an excuse to rob gay people of basic rights and lower them to the level of a mentally ill or otherwise sick individual that would marry a wall or a tower or a sheep. I'm not even gay, and I find that idea completely insulting.

Off the soap box... I agree with Neatoramawontsendmeapassword. Marrying an inanimate object is a control thing. It has to be, because there is really no other benefit involved, and I don't even want to think about the physical side of things if they exist at all. :P

If a man is allowed to marry another man, every US citizen will immediately be legally required to marry a dog. The people who refuse will be sent to internment camps and will be summarily terminated by our lizard overlords who rule from the inside of the earth. I don't see what's so hard to understand about that.

There's a tower in Kansas City that's way more phallic than either of em. Google the Liberty Memorial Tower and tell me it ain't packing.
