A Florida judge has thrown out a motion filed by a man who is seeking to marry his pornography-filled computer, according the New Times Broward-Palm Beach.
Chris Sevier filed the motion to intervene on a federal lawsuit (James Domer Brenner et al., v. Rick Scott) that seeks for Florida to recognize gay marriages performed elsewhere. Sevier claims in the motion that if gay men and women can marry "even if they lack corresponding sexual parts," then he should be able to marry his laptop, which he says is his "preferred sexual object."
This comes after he sued Apple for selling him that same laptop without adding a pornography filter or warning him of the dangers of pornography, according to PC Magazine.
In that lawsuit, Sevier said that before purchasing the MacBook he had never seen pornography, but stumbled upon it when he mis-typed "Facebook.com" in the search bar and has since developed an addiction that has ruined his marriage.

Now I understand why they are opposed to so many things. They have no will-power.

Speaking for women everywhere, Thank you, God.

One of the readers brought the issue of consent up. This is a good point.

I'm assuming there is reciprocation, of course.
